NEARLY READY.” 


i( 


So much time has passed since the first announcement of the Stationers’ Hand-Book, that 
we fear many of its first subscribers will not witness its realization, having perhaps retired from 
business, died or failed otherwise. We fear, too, that after its announcement as “ nearly ready ” 
during four seasons, no living subscriber will now believe that it is ready. Nor is it. It was 
“nearly ready’’two years ago, when we were waiting with anxiety for the “ coming stationer’’ 
whose valuable services we thought we had secured, but who would not come. It was “ nearly 
ready ’ a year ago, when our faithful friend Mr. Yohn came to bur rescue, and kindly sent us his 
manuscript of the Stationers’ Order-List. It was “nearly ready” when, subsequently, the inventor 
of the “ Centennial,” Mr. Bainbridge, generousl}' supplied us with his best “Ye C.” for the sample 
sheet distributed at the first Book Fair. It was “nearly ready” when, in September last, Mr. 
Monachesi had finished his additional work and every thing was neatly printed and folded, with the 
exception of the title page, indexes, list of novelties and advertisements. But it was not “read)'.” 
Why? Because those leading houses whose lists were promised and expected from season to 
season were “ not ready. And we are sorry to say, that with the few but fair exceptions presented 
in this book, they are not ready yet. And therefore, though the volume passes out of our hands 
freshly bound like a book “just ready,” the “Stationers’ Hand-Book” which we promised two years 
ago is still “ forthcoming.” 

The Publishers Trade-List Annual was not ready either in the year 1871, when, at great sacrifice, 
we published the first Annual. The book publishers then were just as reluctant and skeptical as 
are to-day the stationers, manufacturers and importers. But the volume did pioneer work ; two 
years later every live publisher was “ ready,” and to-day no live dealer would do without it. 

In stating the object of the “Stationers’ Hand-Book,” we must give credit to the little English 
book of the same title, now in its eleventh edition, which some five years ago suggested to us the 
idea of preparing a similar work, more especially adapted to the American market. We have 
referred to it several times in the Publishers’ Weekly, on the appearance of its new editions. It 
is a small volume in i8mo, containing articles on paper and paper-making, technicalities, account 
books, trade terms, etc., etc., but no lists. Having been specially prepared for the English mar¬ 
ket, we are indebted to it only for the suggestion. 

In choosing our material, we were chiefly guided by the practical wants of the “bookseller and 
stationer,” whose callings are almost inseparable in this country. The dealer having been success¬ 
fully supplied with a “ Hand-Book,” for his book department, in the Publishers’ Annual, a simi¬ 
lar work for the stationery department has become an urgent necessity, especially as during the 
last few years, the book trade, for many reasons, has been forced into giving this branch far more 
prominence than formerly. The stationery business, moreover, has so rapidly developed into one 
of the largest trades of the United States, and its range of goods, already wide, is being so con¬ 
tinuously extended, that very few, in their practical experience, have the opportunity of making 






The Statiotiers' Hand-Book. 


iv^ 


themselves familiar with all the details and technicalities of the trade. Indeed, we could not lay 
hands upon an}^ one person sufficiently omniscient to do justice to all the details of the work—a 
difficulty for which we were heartily grateful, when the alternative presented itself of calling upon 
gentlemen expert in their several departments, to give us the benefit of their invaluable specific 
experience. To their ready kindness, the trade is chiefly indebted for whatever value it may find in 
this provisional “ Hand-Book.” 

And now we appeal to others in the trade to come forward and aid us in the completion of the 
work. We shall gratefull}^ consider every suggestion for improv'ement. In relation to the “ Order- 
List,” howev^er, what is said in the introductory words, on page 67, should be borne in mind. 
The somewhat similar, but more extended “ Price-List,” published b)' Mr. Howard Lockwood 
during the progress of our own work, has doubtless already acquainted the stationery trade with 
the usefulness of such helps. In our own work, we shall hope rather to extend the descriptive 
chapters than the catalogue, whose office, it is to be hoped, will be fulfilled in future editions far 
more satisfactorily by a full representation of the original lists of manufacturers and importers, and 
a complete analytical index or key, by which any one can readily turn to the article as recorded 
more fully in the contributed lists. 

On this part of the work depends its success. If those v/ho recognize the usefulness of the 
volume will make it a point in their business correspondence to do their share toward inducing 
importers and wholesale houses to contribute their trade lists to the “ forthcoming ” work, we are 
confident the day is not far distant when we can in truth announce to the trade that “The Stationers’ 
Hand-Book ” is—READY.

The Stationers’ 


Hand-Book. 


PAPER. 

Based on Article in De Vinne’s ^'Printers' Price-List^' with revisions and additions by 

J. F. Anderson, Jr. 

T}IE qualities of paper most familiar to the book and stationery trade are as follows; 

Book. Envelope. Tissue. Bond, or Parchment. 

Writing. Colored, or Cover. Copying. Enameled. 

Ledger. Manila, or Wrapping. Blotting. Drawing. 

The classification is not strictly that of the paper manufacturers, but the names are those by 
which they are best known to the trade. 


REGULAR SLZES. 

Paper can be made to order of any size, and at times it is found on sale of dimensions not 
specified in the following tables, but the greater part of all the paper sold is made up for sale in 
regular sizes. Names are generally used to define sizes, but this custom often leads to serious error 
The sizes of Writing and Drawing Papers are quite different from those of Printing Papers, yet many 
of the same names are used for the three qualities. English sizes also differ from American, and 
therefore, when it can be done, paper should be specified by^ inches, and not by name.

Large sizes, like 34 x 46 and 36 x 48, as well as odd sizes, like 28 x 34, are not uncommon, but 
they are of too irregular supply to be considered as regular papers. The larger sizes are invariably 
of common cjualitv, suitable only for.posters and newspapers; the smaller sizes are usually of finer 
quality, adapted for book and fine job printing. 

The following sizes of Papers are in use in Philadelphia :

It will be seen that these papers do not correspond with the English shapes. They have no in¬ 
dividual names, and will be only known bj' their numbers : 10 Bogen (sheets), i Lage (layer) ; 10

DESCRIPTIONS, QUALITIES, AND PRICES. 

Hard Paper is always preferred. To be hard, it must be tub-sized and loft-dried, by the slow pro¬ 
cess of atmospheric evaporation. A well-made tub-sized and loft-dried paper will permit the use of 
the most caustic ink without spreading or blotting, will allow a free and rapid motion of the finest 
pen without any scratching of surface, and, if of best stock, may be folded and refolded without 
cracking of the fibres. • 

Tub-sized Paper is that which has received a coating of glutinous matter on the surface, by being 
passed through the “ size” in the “ size-box,” while in process of manufacture. The better grades of 
writing paper are also “ loft-dried ”—that is, dried by exposure to the air in the drj^ loft. 

Engine-sized, or Soft Paper, is often made from inferior stock, and is always sized in the pulp. 
It may be, and often is, whiter and smoother than the hard paper, but it is not so tough and strong, 
and sinks or roughens readily under the pen. 

Plated Paper is that which has been polished by pressure between metal plates. The process is 
expensive. The glossy papers of this nature are found only in the smaller sizes of folded Notes and 
Letters, or Bill of Exchange Cap and Folio. 

Cold-Pressed Paper has a hard and rough surface, and is very thick for its weight, receiving no 
calendering whatever. It is made in Note, Letter, Commercial and Packet, and also in Flat- 
Cap, Demy and Medium. The larger sizes are known as Drawing papers. It is a difficult paper to 
write or print upon. 

Wove Paper is made from pulp that is couched on fine interlacing wires, giving it a woven ap¬ 
pearance, as may be seen by holding such paper against the light. 

Laid Paper is made from pulp that is couched on close parallel wires, and afterward creased or 
marked by a dandy-roller. It is, necessarily, full of little ridges. Good papers are made by each 
method, but in ordinary work the wove has the preference. 





























































I^aper.

Hand-made Paper is made laid or wove. It is too expensive for any other work than the finest 
Writing, or the reproductions of antique typography. It has ragged edges, and is usually tliicker at 
the edges than in the centre of the sheet. 

The Water-marks of the name of the manufacturer, or dealer, or user, which may be seen in 
some papers when the sheet is held against the light, are made by a dandy-roll pressing the moist 
sheet before the paper is perfected. These dandy-rolls are too expensive to be employed upon com¬ 
mon orders. 

Calendered Paper is that which has been polished by pressure under steel rollers. When this 
pressure is repeated many times, the perfected paper is known as Super-calendered. 

White is the present prevailing color of Writing papers. Blue is made of all the principal sizes, 
but this color is in limited request. 

Writing Papers are now made of all kinds and qualities of stock, from linen to straw, and the 
different stocks are so combined that it is impossible for any one but an expert to identify the mate¬ 
rials. A first-class Writing Paper should be hard, tough, elastic, opaque, of pure color, and of well¬ 
sized surface. The first, and perhaps the most important qualification is the sizing, for it is the nature 
of the sizing that gives a Writing Paper its rank and value. 

Plain Paper is paper unruled. 

Perfect Paper is that which has been carefully inspected, sheet by sheet, and is free from specks, 
wrinkles, and all imperfections. It is also known as the First Sorting. 

M Paper is that which is not fully up to the first sorting, but in which the imperfections are so 
trivial as to be perceptible onl}’ to an expert. 

N Paper is a much inferior quality, in which specks and wrinkles are more common. 

R., or Retree, is another term used for N Paper. 

Casse Paper, or Outsides, is the imperfect paper usually found in the outside quires of Folded 
Writing. 

Off color is the term given to paper of gray, dull, or unpleasing color. 

Writing Papers are known as Folded, Flat, and Ledger papers. The notes and letters of light 
weight are packed in wrappers of half reams ; the heavier weights and finer qualities in packages of 
quarter reams. 

Ledger Paper is the name given to the thicker weights and best qualities of all flat papers of 
large, size. 

FOLDED PAPERS. 


Billet, 6x8, and Octavo, 7x9 Inches. 


These papers are mostly used for writing, but are not so popular now as formerly. They are only 
in slight request for printing purposes, and consequently, seldom found plain. The usual weights of 
ruled paper are 2>^, 3, and 3^4 pounds for Billet, and 4, and 5 pounds for Octavo.

Commercial Note, 8 x 10 Inches. 


This is the standard size for correspondence, and for printed Note Headings and Circulars. 
The size of a leading manufacturer is 8^ x ro >4 inches. White is the prevailing color. Blue, pink, 
bull', and other pale tints may also be had, but in more limited variety. The ruled and plain papers 
are sold at the same price, and can be found in great variety of quality. 

Notes are seldom made flat, but are folded in half and quarter quire sections ; the thinner 
weights are put up in half-ream, and the thicker in quarter-ream packages. The usual weights 
are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 pounds.

Packet Note, 9x11^ Inches. 

This is also known as Extra-Size Note, or CaUfornia Note. It is not to be found in the variety 
of Commercial Note. The common qualities are in limited supply, and are rather higher in price 
than those of Commercial Note. The common weights are 5 and 6 pounds. Price, 23 @ 25 cents 
per pound. First-class, Perfect, and M are more common. Usual weights, 5 > and 7 pounds. 
Price, 30 @35 cents per pound. Plated is rare. Tinted is not made. Thin Linen of about 3 
pounds weight may be had at $2 .75 @ $ 3 - 5 ° ream. Antique Note, of 4, 5, and 6 pounds, is sold 
at $3 and $4 per ream. 

Letter Paper, 10x16 Inches. 


This size is variable, some making it a fraction smaller, and others a triHe larger, but the size 
10 X 16 may be taken as the correct average. It can be found in greater variety of weights and quali¬ 
ties than any other folded paper. The American papers of this size are put up folded in half and 
quarter ream packages, and also flat in plain wrappers. 

For printing or ruling purposes flat papers are most convenient. They are not only cheaper, 
but are easier to cut, rule, or print. Double-size Letter, always a flat paper, 16 x 20 inches, is made 
Iw some mills.

Tinted, Thin Linen, Antique, and Plated are qualities too rarely found as folded papers to merit 
quotations. As Letters and Commercial Letters are cut, with but trivdal waste, frorii Folio Post, 
17 X 22, it is practicable for a printer to make this size at little cost. 

Packet Post, 11^x18 Inches. 

Extra Packet Post, 12 x 19'Inches. 

These sizes are little used by printers. The stock of the largest paper warehouse is too small 
and too little varied to require special prices. The [common weights are 10, 12, and 14 pounds to 
the ream ; prices same as Commercial Letter. English and French papers of this size, usually of 
light weights, may be had of importing stationers. 

Foolscap, 12*4 X 16 Inches. 

The size of this paper is extremely variable, ranging from 11^x15 to 13 x 16 inches, according 
to weight. It is more used for writing purposes than for printing. It can be found in great variety 
of quality, ruled and plain.

Paper. 


Legal Foolscap, 8 x 24 Inches, 

This is exclusively a Writing Paper, is always ruled and folded, and should not be confounded 
with Law Blank Cap, or small Flat Cap, 13 x 16 inches. Plain paper of this size can not be bought. 
The present prices are as follows :

FLAT PAPERS. 

Small Flat Cap, 13 x 16 Inches. 

This size is also known in the trade as Law Blank Cap, Corporation Cap, and Legal Cap, and 
is sometimes called Pot, to which English and French size it closely approximates. Of the lower 
grades and lighter weights there is a fair supply. Fine and thick papers of this size are unusual. It 
is chiefly used by blank-book manufacturers, and also, in fine qualities made to order, by law station¬ 
ers, for the printing of law blanks. 

White laid is most common ; wov'e is scarcer ; blue is unknown. Between this size and Flat 
Cap, 14 X 17 inches, sizes 12^ x 17, 13^ x 12 x 20, and 12 x 22 inches may at times be found. 

The weights are always light, and the qualities of a low grade.

This is a standard size, to the regular folds of which nearly all mercantile blanks are made to 
conform. It may be found in white and blue, and of all weights from 12 to 20 pounds. Ten pounds 
and lighter weights are not unknown, but are not common. Laid Flat Cap is rare—to be found only 
in the cheapest American and best foreign qualities. Blue Flat Cap may be found of most weights, 
but never in such variety as white. Pink, yellow, buff, green, and lilac tinted, are to be had of the 
weights of 14 and 16 pounds.

Exchange Cap is a thin, semi-transparent, highly-calendered, hard and strong paper. It is 
used for bills of exchange, certificates, and other blanks, that must be of light weight, and may receive 
hard usage. It is not so strong as Bond or Parchment, but is better adapted for receiving fine im¬ 
pressions. Price, $6 per ream. 

Drawing Cap is a cold-pressed paper, useful only in printing imitated antique work, or for 
making drawing-books. Price per ream, 16 pounds, $4.50 @ $5.00.

BOND PAPERS. 


These papers are made of the finest Writing Paper stock, with a special view to strength. They 
are usually thin, translucent, uncalendered, not at all showy, but of good writing surface, as well as 
of great durabilit}’. To some e.Ktent and for some purposes, they are now used super-calendered or 
glazed, as they are more specially called. For bonds, stock certificates, and, to some extent, for 
legal papers, and as note paper, they have preference over all others.. They are niade in a variety of 
sizes and thicknesses. The common thickness of 14x17 paper is 21 pounds to the 1000 sheets j 
extra thicknesses of 14 X 17 paper are 25 and 29 pounds to the 1000 sheets. They are packed in 
bundles of 1000 sheets, and are never sold by the ream. White is the common color, but yellow, 
pink, and buff are frequently found. The following are the regular sizes and thicknesses, with 
prices, of Messrs. Crane tS: Co.

COLORED PRINTING PAPERS. 

When colored Printing Papers are made of News Stock, of the cheaper grades, the colors are 
comparatively strong and dull, yellow being, perhaps, the only bright or pleasing tint. They are 
sometimes put up in two-ream bundles of assorted colors, but more commonly of one color only 
The following are the sizes and weights of News Stock on sale : 


Medium.19 x 24...24, 25 pounds. 

Royal.20X 25.. .35, 40 “ 

Super-Royal.22 x 28.. .35, 40, 50 “

Double Cap.17^ x 28.. .35, 40 

Double Royal.28 X42. . .35, 40 


The Super-Royal and Double Cap are not so common as the Medium, although they are con¬ 
sidered as regular papers. Papers of these sizes are always thick. Larger sizes, 33 x 46 and 36 x 48, 
are made, but they are in little request, and are .seldom found in stock of the largest warehouses. 
The present current rates vary from 14 @ 16 cents per pound, price depending on (juality of stock 
and purity of color. They are sold at a fixed price per ream, and not by the; pound. 


FINE COLORED PRINTING PAPERS 

are made of good Book Stock, and with better colors than the preceding. Most papers of this class 
are calendered or super-calendered, and are often labeled “ Glazed,” to better indicate the high polish 
they have received. They are usually put up Hat, and folded in quires, one ream to the bundle of 
light and heavy weights. When made to order, in large quantities, they are Hat, three or more reams 
to the bundle. The colors are sometimes assorted, as in the commoner quality, but they are oftenei 
sold separately. 

The usual sizes and weights of Fine Colored Printing Papers are : 

Medium.20 x 25.24, 28, 35, 40 pounds 

Super-Royal.22 x 28. 30 . 33 . 35 . 40 . 50 “ 

Double Cap...171^ x 28.35. 40 pounds. 

Intermediate and larger sizes are never kept in stock. To be had, they must be made to order. 

The prices of Fine Colored papers var}. from 17 @ 19 cents per pound, according to purity of 
stock and color. 

An order to make up an odd size of less than 1000 pounds of Book, News, or Colored paper 
is seldom taken by paper dealers, and in most cases would be declined. 

Colored Printing pajrers are made by adding the color to the pulp before the paper is made. 
The colors of the best pajrers so made are usually pale and delicate, and hav'c no brilliancy. 

FANCY COLORED PAPERS. 

This line of goods is made for printing labels, pamphlet covers, paper boxes, etc., etc., and are 
known as glazed, plated, enameled, and embossed papers. The regular market size carried in stock 
is 20 X 24 inches, but some of the larger houses have 22 x 28 of some colors, and sometimes other 
sizes. The paper generally comes to the manufacturer in rolls 24 inches wide. It is colored in the 





































Paper. i i 


roll, and can then be finished and cut to any length desired at short notice, but if any other width is 
wanted, the paper may have to be made before it can be colored, which will occasion a delay of from 
six to ten days in fulfilling an order. Manufacturers usually have on hand rolls of 20, 22, 24, and 26 
inches wide, but as 24 inches is the regular size, the other widths can only be had in smaller quanti¬ 
ties. This line of papers is an entirely separate business from what is known as a paper warehouse, 
and nowhere can a full assortment, which comprises over five hundred different colors, shades, and 
tints, be found outside of New-York, Philadeljjhia, or Boston. 

The prices are subject to greater tluctuations than printing papers, imd can not be classified by 
written description with any approach to accuracy. 

Orange and Orange-Yellow Glazed, of thin paper, are now selling at from $7.00 @ $q.oo per 
ream. Vermilion, Red, or Common Blue, at from $7.00 @ $12.00. Fine Plated Green, at from 
$7.00 @ $16.00. Ultramarine Blue, at $7.00 $8.50. Steel Blue, from $11.00 @ $14.00. 

Thick Cover Paper, 20 x 24 and 22 x 28, of pale fine colors, on good paper, is sold at $14.00 @ $18.00. 

TISSUE PAPERS. 

The most common size is 20x30 inches, of which shape both white and assorted colors may be 
found. It is put up in one-ream packages, and ten reams to the bundle. White, 24 x 36 inches,, 
may also be found. It is seldom used for printing, but is often retpiired in binding, as a set-off sheet 
opposite engravings. The present prices are :

Prices of Manila Wrapping range from gj^ @ 13 cents per pound, according to quality, the 
higher price being for pure Manila, all rope, a paper of great strength. 


Bogus Manila is a mixed paper, inferior to the pure Manila. The sizes and weights are the 
same as those of Manila. Price, from 6 @ 8 cents per pound. 


ORDINARY ENVELOPE PAPER, 

or Post-office paper, as it is sometimes called, when found on sale in paper warehouses, is of bright 
gold color, and is to be had of several thicknesses. . 

The usual sizes and weights are :

The price varies from 15 @ 25 cents per pound, according to color and quality. 

Manufacturers of envelopes keep a much larger variety of all colors and weights, and of variable 
sizes, from ig x 31 to 22 x 34 inches. A light weight may be rated at 30 pounds. It is not practicable 
to define the weights, as they vary. The papers of e'nvelope makers are usually laid. 

White, canary, orange, pink, green, lilac, and other delicate tints of fine colored papers may be 
had of envelope manufacturers, at the prices of fine writing papers ; the white, canary, and orange 
of great variety of weights; the other colors, about the thickness of Flat Cap, 12 pounds to the 
ream. , 

BLOTTING PAPERS. 

The thinner qualities of Blotting Paper used for interleaving blank books, are of a red or dark 
pink color. The sizes on sale are Medium, 18 x 23, and Double Cap, 17^ x 28, which can be had

•either flat or folded, the price for Medium and Double Cap being $3.25 $3.50 per ream. Usual 

weight per ream, 17 pounds. 

Treasury Blotting is the name given to the thickest and best quality, of which white is the pre¬ 
vailing color, but blue, bufT, pink, drab, yellow, and other tints are to be had in great variety. The 
regular thicknesses of a leading manufacturer are known as 80, 100, and 120 pounds, although the 
actual weight is from 7^ to 10 per cent less. The paper is sold at 23 cents per pound for nominal 
weight. One hundred and forty pounds is another weight sold by the same manufacturer, which is 
full weight, and sold at 25 cents per pound. Other qualities can be had at a much less price per 
pound, ranging from 17 to 20 cents. 

COPYING PAPERS. 


Copying papers, as indicated by the name, are mostly used for copying books. They are also used 
for making manifold paper. Copying papers are mostly white, although a large quantity of bufl' is 
now made, and is known as Patent Parchment Copying. The white copying was former!}- all im¬ 
ported from Belgium, Germany, France, or England, but a very good white copying paper is now 
made in this country. It is as well finished as the French, and even stronger, but it. is not quite so 
■clear. It can be sold at lower rates, and it now supersedes the imported, except for the best and 
most expensive styles of copying books. The French paper is very popular on account of having a 
very clear white color, and being highly glazed. The high finish does not improve its copying quali¬ 
ties, and disappears the moment it is dampened. It increases the cost, however, considerably.

FANCY WRITING PAPERS. 

By ChAS. T. BAINIiRIIMiK. 

. Fancy Writing Papers are classed under the following heads: 

<yOLOKEi) Bordered, Lace, Fancy Water-Marked, Piries Wove, 

Goeeered Edge, Embossed, French Fieagramme, Pirie;’s Rep. 

Do.mestic Imitations of Pirie’s, D.\mask or RinfioN P.vttern. 

This classification fairly represents the various kinds of fine writing papers which have led the 
market for the past twenty-five years. 

The Colored Bordered is made in the same manner as Black Bordered, the colors most used 
being Carmine. Green, and Blue. This style originated in Paris, but was largely imported into 
this country from William M. Leschallas and Thos. De la Rue & Co., London. What is now sold is 
mostly old stock or domestic manufacture. The sizes and weights were as follows : 

Queens.. 54 ^X 3 >^. 3'A pounds per ream. 

Albert.f> xsH . 4 

Octavo. 7 ><4 A . 5 

Large Octavo or Commercial Note, 8 x 5 .6 

Goffered Edge. This paper was often made with a border similar to the last-named paper. It 
was very popular at one time. The edges were cut with a knife,' same 'as envelopes are now cut. 
It was made generallv of the same sizes and weights as the colored border.* 

Lace Paper. The.se papers are too e.\pensive, and they do not suit the practical turn of the 
-American mind. They are manufactured by first being embossed and then by friction applied to the 
back of the sheet, with emery paper, to produce the necessary perforations. As the shapes, weights 
and sizes of these papers are matters of caprice, and vary from a 641110 to a full-sized folio, we avoid 
further specification. For ordinary purposes these goods are out of style, but they are still exten¬ 
sively used for valentines and fancy box linings, etc., etc. A similar style, but without any perfora¬ 
tions, is called embossed. It is manufactured in the'same manner as initial paper is stamped, but a 
more powerfid pressure is used. The sizes and weights are the same as Lace Paper. 

Fancy Water-Marked Papers. These papers, such as Damask, Alhambra, and Elizabethan, 
once .so popidar, are now almost entirely out of the market. They were first introduced by Thos. 
De la Rue I't Co., and are produced by a dandy roll, in the same manner as ordinarv Laid Papers. 
They come in fofio sizes, and are cut up to the various shapes of note and envelopes, as required. 

Linear Papers, of the above class, in design are much older, having been made for legal 
and record purposes before the invention of the Fourdrinier Machine. They come in folio post, 
17 X 22 inches, and weigh from 10 pounds to 32 pounds per ream. 

These papers will always remain salable, as they are made in all the popular tints, as well as 
in white and very pronounced colors, and, as a matter of taste, are preferred to papers ruled in the 
ordinarv manner, b)”^ those of the /tite who are compelled to use ruled papers. Pirie’s papers of 
this class are unequaled ; they are cut up into the ordinary sizes of note and letter paper and en¬ 
velopes. 

French Filagramme Papers. These papers were first introduced about 1S55, ‘'‘td they entirely 
superseded all the above descriptions of Fancy Writing Papers. The first pattern was the Ouadrille, 
in three sizes of squares, as follows: Petite, Moyen, and Grande. They were at first sold principally 
in the French sizes, known as Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9; afterward they were largely imported in 
folio sheets, 17 x 22 inches, and varying in weight from 10 pounds to 40 pounds per ream. These pa¬ 
pers continue to have a limited sale, and usually in the ordinary sizes of American Papers. To the 
three patterns mentioned were added in rapid succession every fwconceivable style, representing 
objects which might be worshiped without any infringement of the injunctions of the second com¬ 
mandment, for they were unlike “ any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, 
or that is in the water under the earth and the rapidity of their increase has been equaled by 
the Kansas grasshopper alone. The process of their manufacture is as follows : The design is wo¬ 
ven in wire, which is held in position by being covered with sheets of strong, thin paper ; these 
wire patterns are then used the same as copper or zinc plates, and in connection with them, or the 
pattern is engraved upon a roller, and used in manner described below. 


















Fancy Writing Papers. 


■5 


Pirie’s Extra Superfine Wove. Pirie’s papers are at present the most popular Fancy Writing Pa¬ 
pers upon the market. They gained and maintain their ascendency by their intrinsic value and great 
uniformity of quality, finish, and color, as well as their unequaled adaptability for fine engraving and 
printing. The size usually imported into this country is double folio, 21 x 33 inches, and generally 
64 pounds weight, and of the following shades and tints : 

Rougeatre, Celestial, Caf6 Parfait, N'iolet, Primrose, 

Perfection, Silver Gray, Caledonia Gray, Eau du Nil, White. 

Notwithstanding that the writer’s partiality for these papers has often given rise to the remark, 
“ He’s got Pirie on the brain,” the uniform testimony of the trade and the immense consumption 
of these papers justifies his estimate of them, and the conclusion that they are preferred (at even 
the present high duly and high price of gold) to any papers made. It is seldom a first-class en¬ 
graver uses any other paper for invitations or a wedding order, and the public taste is cultivated 
to such a degree that it is morall}' certain if he does, that he will fail to give satisfaction. The 
finest penmen in the country are a unit in profession and in practice. All their finest efforts are 
produced on Pirie’s Wove Papers. They cost to import, thirty-eight to forty cents per pound, and 
are cut to any size in paper and envelopes. 

Pirie’s Reps have had many imitators, no equals. They resemble the woolen and cotton fabrics 
from which the)' take their name. For fine engraving and printing, for correspondence and fine 
specimens of penmanship, they are second only to Pirie’s Extra Superfine Wove, and are made 
in the same colors, sizes, and weights. 

Domestic Imitations. The Domestic Imitations of these papers are poor, but they are well 
adapted to the cheaper class of trade, and are made in doid)le folio post, 21 x 33 inches and 20 x 24 
inches. The Holyoke manufacturers adhere to the English size, 21x33 inches, but some other 
manufacturers adopt the 20 x 24 inches—a very inconvenient size, as it cuts to waste either for paper 
or envelopes. 

The Damask or Ribbon Pattern. These have principally been manufactured from Pirie’s wove 
papers. This pattern was revived by Messrs. Myers Bros., and is unquestionably the prettiest yet 
introduced, but the embossing is so heavy as to make it difficidt to write upon ; its sale, therefore, 
suddenly fell off. A knurl for the production of this pattern is in the possession of the writer, and 
is over twenty years old. This design was improved upon by Harry C. Bainbridge, by the addition 
of an embossed line ; but this, like its immediate predecessor, is a failure, and for the same reason. 
We must reverse the Latin maxim, “m^teriam superabat opus,” in regard to the so-called improve¬ 
ments upon Pirie’s Papers, and say of one and all of them, “ the materials surpass the workman¬ 
ship.” It makes one’s heart ache to .see beautiful paper so wretchedly treated. 

The propess by which corrugation is produced upon paper, of any desired pattern, is the same 
which has been in operation many years by the manufacturers of box cover papers. First, an instru¬ 
ment called a knurl is made (generally of a cylindrical form), of steel, which is annealed, and the 
pattern engraved upon it ; it is then hardened, and caused to rotate upon a larger cylinder of softer 
metal, which receives the impres.sion from the knurl. A counter-die is then formed (of lead gene¬ 
rally), upon a movable bed, and the paper (by a suitable mechanical device) caused to pass between 
the roller and the counter-die. Machines for this purpose are manufactured by R. Hoe & Co. 
.\nother method is to have two rollers, one of brass or steel, engraved as described above, the other 
of paper, or gutta-percha, or rubber, or any other substance that will make a suitable counter-die. 
The paper passes between these rollers, and is impressed or embossed, or corrugated or damasked 
(pronounced by omitting the second .syllable). The best American plated papers, which are made 
by the East-Ilartford Paper Co., and by the Old Berkshire Mills, are about ten per cent cheaper than 
Pirie’s. Another maker, who makes a highly finished paper, and imitates Pirie’s colors (sometimes), 
is satisfied with five to ten per cent above Pirie’s prices. We are informed he sells a small quantity.

The Stationers' Hand-Book 


FOREIGN PAPERS. 

By Willy Wallach. 

The high duties on foreign paper, amounting to 35 per cent of its value at the place of ship¬ 
ment, in connection with an average premium of about 15 per cent on gold, make it impossible to 
import the ordinary qualities, and the varieties usuall}^ found in the importing houses ot New- 
York, Philadelphia, and Boston consist, therefore, mostly of the more expensive qualities, and 
of such styles for which the demand is so limited as to offer no inducement to American manufac¬ 
turers to undertake their production. But, in consequence of the overproduction of regular writing 
papers, and the depression in prices, some of the best American mills have turned their atten¬ 
tion to the manufacture of some of these specialties, such as very thin folios for printing circulars, 
thin and very tough linen paper for foreign correspondence, tinted and figured, heavy paper for 
ladies’ writing papers, and copying papers, for the manufacturers of copying-books. They have 
succeeded in suppl3’ing better goods than the foreign manufacturer, and at prices lower than 
similar goods can be imported. The importation of foreign paper is therefore falling ofi very 
considerably, and will likely be confined to liand-made Writing, Drawing, and Blank-Book papers. 
Machine-made papers of very high finish, and to peculiar tints or ornamentation ; to stained, em¬ 
bossed, gilded, and perforated papers for box makers and fancy workers. Under these circum¬ 
stances, any extended notice of ordinary foreign papers would be unnecessary, but a few facts about 
them may not be uninteresting. 

English Papers. England and Scotland produce the greatest variety of paper in the higher 
grades. The low grades, of which large quantities are sold in London, are mostly imported from 
Germany and Belgium. The best styles of English paper, such as Whatman’sTurkey Mill, Fellows’, 
Turner’s, and Pirie & Sons make, are known all over the world. Whatman’s Drawing Papers are 
probably the best and most expensive which are made. They are manufactured of the best and 
most carefully selected rags, and are made bv hand. They are made in all sizes, from Pot to Anti¬ 
quarian, and are furnished either cold or hot pressed. Fellows;’ and Turner’s are the nearest in qual- 
itj’ to Whatman’s. Pirie & Sons, in Aberdeen, Scotland, make nearl}' all the varieties which can be 
produced by machinery, but no hand-made papers. 

Besides the above-named celebrated mills, there are many others which, though less known, pro¬ 
duce excellent paper. The principal varieties made in England are fine Printing and Book paper, 
white and colored Tissue and Copying paper. Wrapping, Hardware and Cartridge, hand and ma¬ 
chine made Drawing and Ledger papers. 

Writing Paper of all grades, ranging from 7>^d. to is. 3d. The English Writing papers are 
mostly tub-sized and well finished, the higher grades mostly plated. In the lower and medium 
grades. Esparto and other vegetable fibres are largely substituted for rags. Mineral substances, such 
as French claj-, are also used to increase weight and to give a better finish to paper made of inferior 
stock. 

English folded Writing Papers, such as are kept in stock in this country, are Super-calendered 
or Plated Notes and Letters of the heavier or ver}' light weights. The heavy are used mostl)' for 
wedding and fancy stationerj^ and the light weights for foreign correspondence. The present price of 
these papers varies from 60 to 90 cents per pound. The Ledger papers are usuallj- hand-made, laid, 
and of untrimmed edges. 

Belgian Papers. Belgium produces, in proportion to its size and population, more paper than 
any other country, and excels mainly in the lower grades of Printing paper and Folio Post, which 
are the cheapest in the world, and of which large quantities are exported. England alone takes 
about five hundred tons per month. All the papers made in Belgium are engine-sized, and contain 
a large quantity of cla}’. They are, therefore, thin in proportion to weight, and are soft and spongy, 
but of a good color and handsome appearance. They lack solidity and strength. 

The varieties mostly manufactured in Belgium are Printing, colored Cover, Copying, and lower 
grades of Writing paper. 

French Papers. The French papers resemble mostly the Belgian, but are generally of better 
quality and more expensive. Tub-sized papers are only made by a few of the best mills, and at verj' 
high prices ; the great bulk of the makers use vegetable sizing. France produces a full and com¬ 
plete assortment of every kind of paper, from the Cigarette to the heavy Drawing and Ledger paper 
It excels in its Folio Post, fancy figured, highly glazed Copjdng, and delicately tinted paper. The 
celebrated Rives paper, used by’ photographers, is made in France, and is used in every part of the 
world.

The French Papers on sale are Notes, Letters, and Folio Post. They are mos'tly thin, and in 
great variety of quality, from a dull, earthy fabric to one of wonderful clearness and transparency. 
They are often plated or highly calendered, but are always soft. 

German Papers. Germany produces all varieties of paper, and imports verj' little from other 
countries. The largest and best mills are in the Rhenish Provinces. The German paper in its gen¬ 
eral character resembles the French and Belgian, but is firmer and more solid. Substitutes for rags 
are used pretty freely, but not in such quantities as to impair the strength.. Vegetable sizing is the 
rule; animal or tub sizing is introduced only in very few mills. The finishing is done by zinc or 
copper plates. Tlie finish of the cheaper qualities is inferior to the American, English, and French, 
and one side is usually finished more than the other. The higher qualities are double plated—a pro¬ 
cess much more e.xpensive and hardly as effective as the super calendering used here. 

Very good rough finished Drawing papers are manufactured. These, colored and white Tissues, 
and some medium grades writing papers for cheap blank books, are the principal qualities exported 
to the United States. 

Foreign Papers, although sold by weight, are valued in folio by approximate weight, such' as 
20-21, 23-24, 27-28 pounds, and if folded and trimmed, not by the actual weight of the reduced size, 
but of the folio size from which it was cut. One ream folio post, 20-21, will make two reams folded 
Letter, weighing together 1S-19 pounds ; or four reams Commercial Note, each weighing 4% @ 4^ 
pounds, while the price is for lo-pound Letter or 5-pound Note. For these reasons, folded foreign 
papers are mostly sold at the prices fixed per ream. 


ENVELOPES. 

By William Irwin Martin, of Samuel Raynor & Co. 


Envelopes are made in all sizes, but there are 
certain sizes which are termed regular. These reg¬ 
ular sizes, however, vary according to the manu¬ 
facturer, each manufacturer making envelopes to 
suit his taste, without regard to any rule. 

Envelopes embrace nearl}' one thousand differ¬ 
ent kinds, including every size and kind, from 
the smallest Note size to the largest Official, with 
Drug, Pay, Glove, Wedding, and Mourning En¬ 
velope patterns ; White, Light Buff, Dark Buff, 
Canarv, Corn, Amber, Orange, Gold, Blue, Pink, 
Green, Lilac, Opaque, and Manila shades ; also 
Parchment, with White and Blue Cloth-Lined. 
The qualities are from the very cheapest to the 
very best that can be made. 

The cheaper kinds of Envelopes are put up in 
half-thousand boxes ; the medium qualities in 
both half and quarter thousand boxes ; the best 
qualities are mostly in quarter-thousand boxes. 
Those in quarter-thousand boxes are in handsom^ 
gilt bands. 

The following designations are based upon the 
sizes made by Samuel Raynor & Co., which are 
understood by the trade to be the nearest medium 
between those of the various manufacturers :

BLANK BOOKS, AND HOW TO ORDER THEM. 

By Henry Hosford. 


In no branch of the Stationery trade do we re- j 
cognize the importance of system and correctness 
so much as in making orders for Blank Books; 
and while it must appear obvious that the first 
object to be attained is that the manufacturer or j 
binder may perfectly understand what is to be j 
made from the pattern, yet this can not be at- j 
tained unless the maker of the pattern fullj' un¬ 
derstands just how to make it. Therefore, with I 
a view to giving the trade a thorough and com- j 
prehensive knowledge of the requirements of the ! 
binder, we propose to suggest a few detailed i 
items which are to be incorporated in the pattern 
to perfectly define it. 

The importance of this chapter will undoubt- i 
edl}" be recognized by manufacturers who are 
receiving orders from the countr}' trade for Blank 
Books, and fully appreciated by parties who have 
opportunities to build up this line of business, ■ 
for there seems to be a general absence of know- ' 
ledge among the Book and Stationery men in ! 
our smaller places as to what is to be specified, I 
and how to specify it. In order to give a chapter 
of concise suggestions, we propose to give the i 
technical terms, and to clearly define them. , 

The first principle to be maintained is, that 
books of original patterns should conform to re- [ 
gular sizes of paper, and not paper to books. In 
some cases this can not be done, and yet even : 
this is seldom. And except where there are | 
large orders, when the paper can be made to or¬ 
der, it will not be economy to deviate from this 1 
rule—for, with the present large lines of paper 
in market, and kept on hand by most paper 
houses, the ease with which this can be accom¬ 
plished will be understood. The following table 
will show the regular American sizes and weights \ 


per ream, and will be found of great service as a 
reference, even to the one who is impressed with 
the idea that he knows it all.

To these ma)' be added what are not called 
Blank-Book Papers, such as Folio Post, 17 x 22 
and Check Folio, 17x24. 

The sizes of Foreign Hand-made Papers, such 
as Fellows’ and Turner’s, are only to be found in 
single and irregular dimensions, on account of 
being untrimmed, and can be safely calculated to 
deduct inch each way. 

FRACTIONAL SIZES. 

The stationer should not fail to appreciate the 
importance of studying for Fractional Sizes, as 
many times this will make a book to greater ad¬ 
vantage, by saving waste in cutting. 

■ MAKING OF PATTERNS. 

This being of the greatest importance, we incor¬ 
porate in our article a model upon which we base 
our suggestions.

The Stationers' Hand-Book. 


Tlie sheet of paper upon which the pattern is 
made need not necessarily be as long as the leaf 
of the book, for the length in figures will answer 
every purpose, but must be the exact width, and, 
in making such, great pains should be taken to 
allow for trimming. The allowance should be 
from a quarter to a half inch. Therefore, take a 
sheet of paper, cut the width required, and make 
according to model.

hand corner of each page, distinctly written, the

see that it takes both sides of the pattern to 
complete the ruling. But where dififerent patterns 
of ruling are distributed through the book, a sepa¬ 
rate pattern should be made for each, fastened 
together, and denominated patterns A, B, C, etc., 
the first or principal pattern having the written 
details, viz. :

Care should be taken when making a pattern 
from a book to match, to observe whether the 
two pages facing are different, in which case the 
two pages should be drawn on the same piece of 
paper (backing each other), and at the lower right-

(Bank Ledger Style), with extra hubs, with or 
without panelled sides, which must be stated on 
pattern. 

2. Extra Russia Bands. Heav}% full bound, 
springbuck, extra hubs, sheep sides, Russia bands 
and ends. 

3. Extra Russia Bands, with Front. Same as 
No. 2, but has a front of Russia. 

4. Russia Bands, sheep sides, hubs. 

5. Russia Corners. Same as No. 4, but sheep 
sides and corners of Russia. 

6. Three Quarters. (Russia, Roan, Slieep, 6tc.) 
Refers to the general binding, which is same as i, 
2, 3, 4, 5. Spring back, leather back and corners. 


cloth sides. Is \vath or without hubs, which 
should be stated on pattern. This is equally as 
strong in make and covers as full-bound books. 
If paper sides, it should be specified ; namely, 
“Three-quarters Russia, hubs, paper sides.” But 
when not stated, is understood to mean cloth sides. 

7 Half. (Russia, Roan, Sheep, etc.) Leather 
back and corners, tight back, unless ordered to 
the contrary ; nameW, “ Half Russia, loose back,” 
i and has paper or cloth sides, which should be 
stated. 

S. One Third. Same as Half-bound, without 
corners, paper sides. 

9. Quarter. Same as One-third bound, but is 
trimmed flush, raw edges. 

10. Full. Such as “Full Russia,” “Full 
Roan,” understood to mean tight back, same as 
Half-bound work. 

We could go on and detail a number of other 
bindings of special kinds, but they must be in¬ 
telligently described to the comprehension of the 
binder. 

PRICES OF BINDING. 

Owing to the variation of the workmanship of 
different binders, it is difficult to give more than 
an approximate list of prices, but we give here¬ 
with the prices gained from Mr. William A. 
Stratton, 56 Cedar Street, New-York, whose spe¬ 
cialty is fine Blank-Book binding for Stationers, 
and whose estimate, making only order work, 
can be taken as a fair approximation ;

The Stationers' Hand-Book 


BOOK-BINDING. 

By R. W. Smith & Co. 
INTROD UCTOR V. 


Book-Binding is the art of connecting to¬ 
gether, in a convenient and durable form, the 
several parts of a book. The chief requisites of [ 
a well-bound book are flexibility, solidity, and j 
durabilit}^ all of which, by the skill of modern 
workmen and improvements in machiner}^ have 
been brought well-nigh to perfection. 

Book-binding is a craft distinct in itself, and is 
divided into the three departments, of “ prepar- j 
ing,” “forwarding,” and “finishing,” and in these j 
departments there are many subdivisions of 
labor. 

Several pages of a book are printed on one 
piece of paper, which is called a “ sheet.” 
These sheets, after coming from the printing 
press, are thoroughl}^ dried and smoothed, and 
then transferred in that shape to the binder, 
who treats them much as follows : The first 
operation is to fold the sheets so that the differ¬ 
ent pages fall in their numerical order, the folios 
directly one upon the other, so that after the 
sheets are trimmed the margins are equal 
throughout the book. The proper binding of 
the book greatly depends upon the accuracy 
with which the folding is done. Machines per¬ 
forming this operation with considerable suc¬ 
cess have lately been introduced, but it still 
continues to be done in the main by hand, the 
work being, performed by girls. After being 
folded, the sheets are gathered and collated 
according to their signatures. A, B, C, etc., or 
I, 2 , 3, etc., which are printed on the bottom of 
the first page of each sheet ; the sheets so made | 
up are now pressed in a compressing machine, 
and the next process is-to saw the indentations 
in the back of the book, preparatory to sewing. 
This is done by passing the backs, or folded 
parts of the sheets, over revolving saws, which 
instantaneously effect all the indentations ; The | 
folded sheets are next sewed together, each j 
one being more or less attached by a thread to 
cords across the back of the book ; The sewing, 
like the folding, is executed by girls. On being 
removed from the sewing-frame, the book re¬ 
ceives its “ waste ” and “ end papers,” which 
are pasted to the back on each side, and then 
it is trimmed in a cutting machine, after which 
the pages maybe either “marbled,” “sprinkled,” 
“gilt,” or left plain, as required. After this pro¬ 
cess the book is rounded with a hammer on an 
iron block, to give the round appearance to the 
back, which is also covered with glue, to impart [ 
a certain firmness ; then the shape of the book is 
formed by means of a backing-machine, which, j 
at the same time, makes a seat for the boards of j 


the cover. After pasting a slip of thin, coarse 
canvas on the back, projecting a little over 
the sides to catch the cover, together with a 
lining of paper, the book is ready for the final 
stage of the process—receiving the cover. 

The making of covers for this class of work 
(cloth work) is a distinct process. A cover or 
“case” consists of cloth glued on two pieces of 
mill-board, the boards being previously cut the 
requisite size, from large sheets, by means of re¬ 
volving knives. In gluing on the cloth, the 
distance of the boards from each other corre¬ 
sponds with the thickness of the book. The cover 
being finished, receives the book, to which it is 
attached b}' pasting it to the canvas before men¬ 
tioned, and the end paper on each side. In 
making cloth covers there are additional manipu¬ 
lations, in all of which machiner}" is emplo)fed. 
The operation of ornamenting them is done with 
great expedition by means of embossing machines. 
This improvement, the greatest in the art of 
book-binding, has been much facilitated by an 
advance in the artistic skill of designers—by ad¬ 
vancement in the art of stamp-cutting, and by 
corresponding adaptations of machiner)-, the 
whole unitedly working toward an end. When 
it is deemed necessar}^ for the sake of attractive¬ 
ness, to stamp a device on the cover of a book of 
which thousands are required, the design is re¬ 
ferred to an artist, or the binder (who should him¬ 
self be capable of filling this branch of his busi¬ 
ness). An appropriate and original design is 
first drawn on paper, and then cut in brass. This, 
in the form of a metal block, gives the impression 
on the cover at a single blow of the embossing 
machine. When the design is to be gilt, leaf 
gold is previousl)' laid on the cover, and the 
block being heated, leaves the impression clean 
and firm, after the surplus gold has been removed. 
In this manner the cloth-bound books now so 
generally in use are titled, and ornamented with 
gold ; with gold, blank, or ink impressions ; with 
both gold and ink, or gold and blank impres¬ 
sions. 

Books bound in leather, of course, go through 
a more slow and careful process of “ forwarding ” 
and “ finishing,” and the different manipulations 
are effected with greater nicety. In this department 
of binding, operators of the highest skill are em¬ 
ployed ; the lettering is done by means of metal 
types, put together in a small case or pallet, and 
sometimes ev^en letter by letter ; the fine tooling 
on the back is done b}^ hand, although in some 
instances it is effected by means of machinery. 
The side ornamentation is generall)^ performed

by embossing machines, as in cloth work, except 
in the case of verj’ fine, unique bindings, which

TECHNICAL TERMS. 

“Pastings” are illustrations, or single leaves, 
which are printed separately from the general 
book, and have to be pa'sted in their proper 
places before the folded sheets are gathered and 
collated. They should be carefully printed with 
reference to the proper dispositions of the margins, 
so the)’ can be easily cut apart in case there are 
many printed on a sheet. 

“ Sewing.” Books are usually sewed by each 
sheet being attached to two or more cords or 
bands sunk across the back of the book, the bands 
varying in number, and the sheets being more or 
less secured by the thread, according to the size 
of the book, and the strength and firmness desired. 

“Flexible Sewing.” In this case there are no 
indentations made for the cord, which rests on, in¬ 
stead of being sunk into the back, and the thread 
is carried around it; this acts as a hinge, and 
makes the back open freely. This sewing is ex¬ 
pensive, and is seldom applied, except in the 
cases of finely bound Bibles and Prayer-Books. 

“Sewed on Tapes.” Cloth books required to 
open freely are sometimes sewed on tapes. This 
method is not so expensive as flexible sewing. 

“ Whipstitching.” When the leaves of a book 
are single, i. e., no fold at the back, they are sewed 
together in sections, the stitches on the back of 
each section being very close together, and ex¬ 
tending from top to bottom, which is called whip¬ 
stitching. These sections are then sewed in the 
same manner as the sections of a book with 
folded leaves. 

“ Guarding,” or “ Hinging.” Thick, heavy 
leaves are “ guarded,” or “ hinged,” so that they 
will open freely— i.e., a strip is cut from the back 
of each leaf, which is called the “guard,” and is 
sewed or pasted into the back of the book. The 
leaf is then attached to the “ guard ” by means of 
a strip of thin paper or muslin, which acts as a 
hinge. 

“ Taped.” The leaves of school-books, such as 
Spellers, First and Second Readers, Geographies, 
and such like work, are generally held by tapes 
passed through the book, close to the back, and 
the ends of the tapes pasted to the inner sides of 
the cover. There is another method of binding, 
with double instead of single tapes, which has 
been patented. -In this the ends of the tapes are 
attached to both the inside and outside of the 
cover, under the linings, imparting great strength 
and flexibility to the binding. This is by far the 
better method of binding with tapes. 

“ Cancelling.” Leaves found to be imperfect 
after the book is bound, or in process of binding. 


can be taken out, “ cancelled,” and others sub¬ 
stituted. It is more practicable when the can- 
j ceilings are scattered through the book, and not 
all together. A few additional leaves may be 
added on the same principle, but a number of 
successive leaves can not very well be taken out 
of one place and replaced by others. 

I “ Inset.” A folded sheet placed or “ inset ” 

; into another folded sheet. 

] “ Waste,” or “ Waste Leaves,” are part of the 

j end papers and the blank leaves between the 
colored end papers and the book proper, and 
; should be part of the same lot of paper with 
i which the book is printed. This very essential 
^ matter of “ Waste,” which is often neglected by 
the publisher, should always be taken into ac¬ 
count in buying paper for the printer, and suf- 
j ficient laid aside for the edition. There is re- 
' quired for binders’ waste for ever)’ looo copies :

For fine leather work, “Extra” work, as it is 
called, half as much again is required. When 
the end papers are to, be plain white, double 
waste is used. 

“ End Leaves,” or lining papers, as they are 
sometimes called, are the sheets which are pasted 
to the inside of the covers, and are either plain 
white, or colored (buffs and browns generally), 
according to the style of binding. Marbled pa¬ 
pers are largely used on fine leather work, and in 
connection with marbled edges. On fine work, 
white watered papers are used, and sometimes, 
in the case of very elegant bindings, the end 
leaves are even made with silk. In cloth work 
it is in the best of taste to line the cover with pa¬ 
per of a different shade of the same color as the 
cover. Comparatively little attention is paid to 
this important feature. One of Mr. Ruskin’s 
recent works, bound under his supervision, and 
according to his ideas, and considered a model 
book, has this as one of the essential features. li 
would be easy to imagine, but difficult to describe, 
the horror with which he would survey some of 
his works on Art bound in this country, the 
covers of which are lined with a dingy brown- 
colored paper closely resembling that in which 
grocers do up their parcels. 

“ Calf-Lined.” This term applies mostly to 
elegantly limp-bound Bibles and Prayer-Books, 
where the inside of the limp cover is lined 
with calf-skin, taking the place of the half of .the 
end paper which is on the inside of the cover. 
This renders the book so limp and pliable, that 
it may be almost rolled up—there being nothing

between the inside and the outside leathers of | 
the covers. 

EDGES. 

In treating the edges of books, they may 
either be left plain, as is generally the case in j 
cloth work, or sprinkled, reddened, marbled, or j 
gilt. It is a matter of taste what edge is in keep- j 
ing with the different styles of binding. [ 

“Sprinkled Edges” are applied to sheep bind- I 
ing, school work, etc., since that prevents the ] 
edges from looking worn and soiled, and also ] 
improves the appearance of the binding, the 
same as marble edges, which are applied to the 1 
same class of work. j 

“Marbled Edges” (unburnished) are m.uch 
used with the different Skiver bindings (Ara¬ 
besque, etc.), and this edge, burnished, is very 
popular in connection with half bindings of calf 
or morocco. 

“Red Edges” are applied to Pra)'er-Books, 
Hymnals, etc., and the smaller size books, such 
as i6mo and under. A plain or antique finish 
is in better keeping with this edge. 

“Gilt Edges” should go with the finer st)des 
of cloth binding having elaborate ornamenta¬ 
tion ; also with fine leather bindings. 

“A Red Edge under’Gold” is getting to be 
very much in use on Bibles, Prayer-Books, etc., 
and gives them a ver}' rich appearance. 

“ Edges Gilt in the Round ” are applied only 
to the finer class of leather bindings. This 
style is very expensive, but it imparts a solid and 
beautiful appearance to the front of the book. 

“ Gilt Top Uncut” means that the book is gilt 
on the top edge only. Originally this was in¬ 
tended simply as a protection against dust set¬ 
tling in the book. On valuable and large-pa¬ 
per copies—“ tall ” copies as they are sometimes 
called—the other edges (front and bottom) are 
left untrimmed, or but very slightly trimmed, 
thus preserving the wide margins intact. This 
mode of treating the edges has of late become 
much in vogue with the finer editions. 

“ Joints ” are of leather or cloth, and are only 
used in the finer class of bindings, or where 
.greater strength is required. They are inserted 
along the back of the inside of the cover where 
it joins the book and helps to keep it from fall¬ 
ing out of the cover. In fine bindings, it also 
offers an opportunity to continue the gold or¬ 
namentation all round the inside of the cover. 

“Cut Flush” means simply that the cloth 
cover, which is usually limp (without boards), is 
drawn on the book and the whole cut at once, 
cover and all, the edge of the cover being cut 
flush with the edge of the book. It is a suitable 
way of binding when neither strength nor ele¬ 
gance is required. 

“ Squares.” The squares of a book are the 


inside faces of the cover, which project over 
the edge. In fine work, the squares are gener- 
all}" ornamented with gold. 

“ Limp Binding ” means that the cover is very 
thin and yielding. A perfectly limp leather 
book can be rolled up easily. 

“Illuminating.” Covers of books can be il¬ 
luminated with leather, cloth, or paper of differ¬ 
ent colors, according to the different styles of 
bindings. On the covers of Juvenile Books 
fancy chromos are sometimes introduced, to¬ 
gether with the elaborate ornamentation gener- 
all}^ found on this class of work. 

“ Panelling.” Panelled sides are sometimes 
used, as in the case of Bibles, Albums, etc., 
which, combined with the usual ornamentation 
in gold, give a very rich appearance. Panels 
are shapes or forms of wood worked under the 
leather. A somewhat similar effect is produced 
with stamps and dies, with which the leather is 
embossed up and filled in preparator}' to cov¬ 
ering. This latter entails considerable expense, 
and is not practicable except in cases of very 
large editions. 

“ Bevelled Boards.” When the edges of the boards 
of the cover are rounded off or pared down, giv¬ 
ing the cover a more finished appearance. In 
cloth work, etc. (machine work), the bevelling is 
flat; in fine binding, a round bevel is made. 

“ Head-Bands ” run around the top and bot¬ 
tom edge of a book at the back, where it joins 
the leather or cloth, and are intended more for 
ornament than strength. In cloth work, a head- 
band of the same material gives an air of com¬ 
pleteness to the binding, and is always used on 
the finer class of this work. In leather-bound 
books a head-band made of silk is used, and 
helps to shape and set the leather at this point. 
It is often hand-worked in instances of finely 
bound books. 

BINDINGS. 

“ Full Binding.” The cover ot the book being 
all one piece of cloth or leather. 

“ Half Binding.’’ Leather back and corners, 
with cloth or paper sides. 

“ Three-Quarter Binding.” Same as Half Bind¬ 
ing, except that more leather is used on the backs 
and corners. 

“Quarter Binding.” Same as Half Binding, 
except the leather is very scant on the side. 

“ Roxburgh.” This style has about the same 
amount of leather on the back as Quarter Bind¬ 
ing, but no corners. Paper sides and no raised 
bands on the back, which is smooth, and simply 
lettered. 

' FINISH 

means the style in which the backs, etc., of finely 
bound leather work are ornamented, whether 











Book-Binding.

with or without bands, with gilt or blank tooling, 
the different styles being much as follows : 

“Plain.” With simple creasing in blank each 
side of the bands ; no gilding except the title. 

“ Antique.” Ornamentation produced by tool¬ 
ing the leather in blank impression ; no gilding 
except the title. 

“ Neat.” Simple ornamentation, in gold. 

“ Extra,” or “ Full Gilt.” Elaborate and full 
gilding. 

“Antique and Gilt.” A combination of blank 
and gilt ornamentation. 

“Panelled Finish.” Simply squares, between 
the bands on the back, in gilt lines. 

“ French.” The bands alone, with no tooling 
whatever, and simply titled in gilt. In this 
style of finish extra clear leather is desirable. 
There are very many other styles of finish¬ 
ing the backs with more or less bands and with 
all manner of tooling, varying from the severest 
simplicity to the richest ornamentation. 

“Hand-Tooling.” (On sides.) This is only 
done on ver}' finely bound books, the ornamen¬ 
tation being applied by hand instead of stamp¬ 
ing, and, if properly executed, presents a very 
delicate and beautiful effect. 

“Levant” morocco is made from the skin of 
the goat which inhabits the Levant. It has a 
larger grain than Turkish morocco, and is con¬ 
sidered the best. 

“ Crushed Levant Morocco ” is morocco to 
which a slight pressure is applied after the 
book is in leather, sufficient to give the leather 
a smooth appearance and without altogether 
obliterating the grain. This affords a better 
surface for the very delicate tooling which is 
often used on this style of binding, considered 
about the finest. 

“ Tree Calf” is so called because the sides of 
the book are colored in imitation of a tree, the 
color and appearance being like that of the grain 
of wood when cut longitudinally and polished. 
It does not add to the superiority of the bind¬ 
ing, and is a little more expensive than the full 
calf style ; it is, however, considered a very 
handsome style. 


“ Beating,” “ Pressing,” etc. In rebinding 
old and valuable books, if the leaves are very 
much wrinkled and uneven, they can be made 
perfectly smooth and flat by either pressing, 
beating, or rolling, as required, and the book 
made firm and solid. 

“ Cleaning,” etci Stains, ink, and water¬ 
marks, etc., can be removed ; and often, in the 
case of old and rare books, the whole book is 
cleaned, and afterward, if desired, the paper 
even restored to its original tint. 

“ Mending.” Torn pages can be mended 
neatly and the paper of the book matched, and 
if part of the printed matter is gone, can be 
filled in by hand to very closely resemble it. 

“Inlaying.” Plates, illustrations, etc., that 
are too small for a book, can be inlaid into mar¬ 
gins of any size. This inlaying is necessary 
and takes the place of mounting where the 
plate is of thick paper, or where it is required to 
show both sides. It can be so neatly done that 
any difference from the other leaves is hardly 
perceptible. Of course, this is only done in 
the else of rare and valuable books, and when 
additional illustrations are inserted. 

“ Mounting.” Plates, etc., can be mounted on 
paper to any size, and photographs, which are the 
most difficult to mount, can, with proper care, be 
mounted so as to lay perfectly fiat and even. 
They can also be floated off from old cards and 
remounted. 

“Furbish.” To brush up or restore books that 
are shelf-worn. Leather-bound books which, 
from long handling and exposure to heat and 
dust, have become ding}' and out of shape, can 
be restored to their original solidity and bright¬ 
ness at very little expense. Scratches, dents, 
stains, broken grain, damage from nails, etc., 
etc., can often be almost entirely removed. 

“ Canvassing Books,” “ Sample,” “ Specimen,” 
and “ Prospectus Books ” are made for agents who 
sell subscription books. They contain specimens 
of the various styles of binding, together with a few 
specimen pages and illustrations, and a number 
of pages of writing paper, on which to record the 
names of subscribers.

STYLES OF BINDING. 


CLOTH. 

Cloth or muslin binding is only adapted to 
Edition work in large quantities, and is done 
mostl}’ by the aid of machiner}'. The covers are 
generally stamped in an ornamental manner by 
the help of brass stamps cut specially for . the 
book, and at the expense of the publisher when 
the edition is a large one, although every bindery 
of ail)’ size is generally provided with stamps 
which can be made available in ordinarj' cases. 
There are many different patterns and colors of 
cloth, but only a few of these are in very genenal 
use. One of the latest and most popular pat¬ 
terns is ah imitation of silk, and in colors light 
brown still seems to be the favorite, although 


French grays and other delicate tints are very 
much liked. The primitive colors, green, blue 
and red, are largely used, and are the most wear¬ 
able and fast colors ; but, in order to please every 
one, publishers generally have their books bound 
in assorted colors, and customers suit their own 
taste in the matter. Solferino and magenta are 
handsome colors, but they fade quickl}', and are 
to be avoided for that reason. Very light shades 
of vellum (smooth) cloths are much used, though 
principally for summer editions of light litera¬ 
ture. It might be suggested here that all finer 
work, and especially when the edges are gilt, 
should have separate paper wrappers, for protec¬ 
tion from scratches, etc., in shipping, or better 
still, cheap pasteboard, boxes.

ROAN OR COLORED SKIVER. 

Roan or colored skiver (split sheep), as in 
cloth binding, with the aid of machinery, is exten¬ 
sively used in large editions of the higher school¬ 
books, etc., a roan back, clotli sides, with mar¬ 
bled edges being the style generally used in all 
i2mos of this class. This leather comes in a great 
variety of color, and its surface may be dull or 


bright, straight-grained or in imitation of morocco, 
as required. It furnishes a strong, durable bind¬ 
ing, and is the cheapest leather style used. 

Arabesque style (machine work) is a full roan 
binding with marbled or sprinkled edges—stamp¬ 
ed elaborate!}' in blank and varnished—thus 
hiding all its imperfections. This style is tolerably 
popular, but only in large edition work.

SHEEP. 

Real sheep-skin is seldom, if ever used, except 
on law or blank books. What is generally 
known as “sheep” is split sheep, or bark 
skiver (natural color). The “ sheep,” or “ libra¬ 
ry” binding, as it is often called, is much in use 
on 8vo-sized books where a full binding is 
required, and is a strong, and if well sprinkled 
and polished, a very neat and serviceable 


Lower Figures, Job Work. 

binding. Edges for this style may be either 
marbled or sprinkled. Half-bindings in this 
leather are also to be recommended as a plain 
and substantial means of preserving books. 
Full sheep work executed by machinery closely 
resembles the hand-work, but it is neither as 
strong nor as handsome. It costs a little more 
than the roan or arabesque binding, which is 
done after the same method, the only difference 
being that the roan is colored.

IMITATION MOROCCO. 

“Imitation” or “French” morocco is sheep 
skin, and is of both German and French manu¬ 
facture. The latter is the best and is used (hand¬ 
work) in full binding, for the sake of economy, in 
the place of Turkish morocco. The leather is elab¬ 


orately stamped to hide all imperfections, and 
with the edges gilt, is a fair imitation of real Tur¬ 
kish. It is seldom used in half binding, except in 
the case of verj^ large work, when the difference 
in price makes it an object. This leather is also 
used in the same manner with the aid of machin- 
er)' instead of hand-work.

MOROCCO (TURKISH). 

Morocco (Turkish) may be in Half, Three-quar¬ 
ter, or Full Binding. This material is used for 
the better class of work, and is susceptible of the 


highest degree of finish, and the richest orna¬ 
mentation. There are generally three qualities 
of leather. Firsts (best). Seconds, and Thirds. 
It is largely used in Full and Half Morocco An¬ 
tique and extra bindings.

MOROCCO (LEVANT). 

Levant Morocco differs from Turkish Morocco 
in being a heavier leather with a larger grain. 
It is sometimes “ crushed ” (see Technical 
Terms), and when this is done it becomes more 
susceptible to fine hand-tooling. It is only 
used on the finest quality of work, half, three- 
quarter, or full binding, with gilt edges. On 
very large books the leather is usually left un¬ 
crushed. It is used almost exclusively in the 
English bindings of large Bibles. ' 


, CALF. 

This material is very extensively used in what 
is known as “ Half Calf Extra” binding, and in 
connection with marbled edges and marbled pa¬ 
per sides. It is frequently used for full bindings, 
and admits of great variet}' in the st3de of finish. 
It can be had in every color, but is not so durable 
as morocco, and should not be used on large or 
heavy books. For 8vo sizes and under, it is a 
suitable and popular binding.

RUSSIAN LEATHER. 

Real Russian Leather is made in the country 
whose name it bears, and is generally of a red 
color, although it sometimes comes in black or 
very dark green or blue. The styles of bind¬ 
ing in this leather are much the same as in 
Turkish morocco, the prices being about 50 per 
cent higher. American cowhide is now being 
made so closely resembling the Russian leather 
that it would be impossible to detect the differ¬ 
ence, did it not lack the lasting and pleasant 
odor emitted by the latter, the secret of impart¬ 
ing which has never been discovered in this ^ 
country. 

Beside the different styles alread}' mentioned, 
books are sometimes bound in White Vellum, 
Velvet, Seal-skin, Silk, and Satin, but this is i 
very rarely done, and onl)’- in special cases. 

Bindings are subjected to every possible 
variety of change in style, according to the 
tastes of the publisher and binder. New meth¬ 
ods and st)des are being constantly introduced, 
and to classif}' their endless variety would be 1 
impossible.

CARDS AND 

By Chas. T. 

Card-Board, strictly speaking, is two or more 
sheets of paper pasted together, then subjected to 
hydraulic pressure, and finished by a variety of 
methods—/r;? ex, by’ press-boards, by rolling, by 
Hints, i. e. friction, and by plates. The process'of 
plate finish is a combination of pressure as by 
press-boards, and friction as by flints, and is the 
method adopted by all first-class manufacturers 
for the finest quality of boards. 

Man)- varieties are coated with preparations of 
Kaolin, white and colored. These are known as 
China, white and colored. Porcelain, generally 
white only. Railroad, white and colored. Enam¬ 
eled, white and colored single and double, i.e., 
finished on one side or both. 

Bristol-Board is two, three, four, or more sheets 
of fine tub-sized paper pasted together, and finish¬ 
ed with plates. Many cheap and inferior goods 
are in the market under this designation, known 
by many “ significant ” names, pro ex inno¬ 
cent, i. <?., of being Bristol : Franklin—because 
the man of that name was the hater of “ shams.” 
Eureka—because the “ Godfather and Godmother 
that gave it that name ” had found a way of palm¬ 
ing upon the community a shameless bogus 
article. These bogus imitation bristols are gene¬ 
rally made 28*4 x 22 inches, and are worth from 
five to ten cents per sheet. A genuine Bristol 
Board, made as described above, is worth from 
twelve to fifty cents per sheet of 28 x 22 inches. 

This class of card-board is used for wedding 
and visiting, and the best quality of business 
cards. 

Visiting and "Wedding Cards are always made 
from two or three-sheet, finest Bristol-Board_ 
The sizes are simply a matter of taste, and vary 
from 3x1)^ to 4^ X 3 inches. 

Gentlemen’s Visiting Cards are small, and vary 
from 3x1)^ to 3*4 x 2 inches. 

Ladies’ Visiting Cards vary from 3f^ x 2^ to 
X 2)^ inches. 

Wedding Cards, at present, are made in long 
shapes, and are in three sizes, viz. ; 5 x 2)^, 

S'A X 2%, and sH x 2>^. 

Besides these sizes, there is the Medium Wed¬ 
ding, in sizes from 3^ x 2 A to 4)^ x 3. 

Square Wedding, from 3^ x 4 to 4^ x 3^. 

In all cases Wedding Envelopes match these 
sizes of cards. As to relative prices on these 
goods, they are all made in about three grades : 


CARD-BOARD. 

Bainbridgk. 

Super Bristol, 15 cts. per sheet of 28 x 22 inches. 
Extra Super, 20 “ “ 28 x 22 

Pirie’s, 25@35 “ “ 28>^X22J^ “ 

Printers’ Blank is three or more sheets of en¬ 
gine-sized paper pasted’together, either white or 
colored. This class of card-board is the best 
known, and most generally used—the thinner 
kinds, say three and four sheets, for business 
cards, show cards, and general advertising pur¬ 
poses ; the thicker kinds, say from six to twelve 
sheets, are used for mounting engravings, photo¬ 
graphs, chromos, and any other class of pictures. 
The price of these boards varies according to the 
thickness only (as the quality of different makers 
varies very little) and ranges from five to twenty- 
five cents for a sheet 28 x 22 inches. 

China and Satin Porcelain is a common paper, 
covered with kaolin, and can be made in any 
color or of any tint desired. These boards are 
seldom used for printing, except as common 
show cards for mounting cheap buttons, cheap 
neck-ties, advertising patent medicines, and other 
purposes where great bulk is required for very 
little money, and not much regard paid to general 
appearance or durability. The price varies from 
five to twenty cents per sheet of 28 x 22 inches. 

Nearly, if not quite, all the varieties of card¬ 
board can be classed under one of the above 
three heads. 

A Rep Bristol is a Bristol-Board with a repped 
line put upon it. 

A Mounting-Board is a heavy blank, six, eight, 
ten, or more sheets thick. 

A Railroad Board is a good quality of blanks, 
colored, and is generally four, six, and eight sheets 
thick. 

The Japanese Ticket Board is an exceedingly 
tough board, made of the finest manila stock, dyed 
in the pulp, and is made by a succession of thin 
sheets, while 3mt pulp, being piled one upon an¬ 
other, in contrary directions, and subjected to 
very extreme pressure, both before and after it is 
dry. There is very great waste and great difficulty 
in making this board, but the finished article is the 
toughest yet produced. 

Excepting the Japanese, all card-board is made 
28 X 22 inches, and, to assist the trade in forming 
an idea of the cost of any given card, a scale 
is presented, which will be found of very great 
service hi making out an order.

The Stationers' Hatid-Book 


CARD ETIQUETTE. 


By Louis Dreka, Philadelphia. 


VISITING CARDS. 

Visiting Cards for Ladies, this season, are 
rather larger than formerly, and of the finest 
white, unglazed English Card-Board. Gentle¬ 
men use a small, heavy Card of the same qua¬ 
lity. The shape of the card may be varied 
according to taste, the proper adaptation to the 
size of the lettering beihg maintained. Tints 
are not used ; they do not harmonize so well 
with the engraving as white or cream. The 
style of lettering is the English Script, termed 
the “ English Round-hand,” also, the Angular ' 
Script. The Old English, however, is still used ! 
by man3^ Care should be taken to have the i 
plate well engraved, and the letters correctly 
proportioned. 

The Card for a Lady and her Daughters, call¬ 
ing together, reads thus: 

oPtu. 

Reception days are mentioned on Visiting 
Cards of those having stated reception days, as : 

^icen. 

Cards sent to friends before leaving for a 
journej', are issued with simpl)' P. P. C. in 
lower left corner, thus,; 



is turned down. Felicitation is to be used when 
making a visit of congratulation ; Conge when 
a'farewell is intended; and Condolence when a 
desire to express sympathy with bereavement, 
etc., is coupled with the call. 

Turning down corners is not now much used, 
and disfigures the card. Any expression that 
suits the caller could be written on its face, with 
a pencil, as the occasion required, and would 
be more esteemed by the recipient than the 
stereotyped expressions placed there by the en¬ 
graver. 

Cards are sometimes left with one end turned. 
This is a custom in Washington society more 
than elsewhere, and denotes a call in person. 

Visiting Cards should be universally used. 
You call on )'our friend, and if you have no 
card, yoii must trust your name to a servant, 
who, it is more than probable, will make a mis- 
^ take, and )’our friend comes down under the 
^ impression that 3'ou are a stranger or a peddler ; 

‘ but if you send up your card, there is no op¬ 
portunity for misapprehension. 


WEDDING INVITATIONS. 

It is now considered more fashionable to have 
the Marriage Ceremony take place in the morn¬ 
ing or afternoon ; and the Invitations should 
consist of a note sheet, containing the invita¬ 
tion to the Church, at a specified hour. 

With this is the Wedding Reception Card, 
issued by the parents of the Bride, which should 
read as follows : 

Qyf/t. ^ Q//u. 




These Cards are inclosed in heav3' and ele¬ 
gant, though plain envelopes, with monogram, 
initial, arms or crest, and sent by post in out¬ 
side envelope. 

TURNING CARD CORNERS. 

Tliere has been doubt as to what signification 
attaches to the turning down of a corner of the 
Visiting Card. The custom in our society, in 
this, is the same as that of London. On the 
upper left-hand corner of the card is the word 
Visile j on the upper right corner, Felicitatioti ; 
on the lower left corner. Conge; on the lower 
right corner, Condolence. These words are en¬ 
graved on the reverse side of the card, and ap¬ 
pear upon its face when the corner is turned 
down ; or the words ma3’’ be understood, and 
not appear on the card. When an ordinar3' call 
is made, the corner displaying the word Visile 


c/eociej Ptie ^c'/eceouie tio-

A card may be inclosed, announcing the Re. 
ception Days of the Bride and Groom. 



4^ 4OdA 














Card Etiquette. 


35 


Then the Cards of the Bride and Groom. These 
are all inclosed in a large envelope, with mono¬ 
gram, arms or crest. If the Bride is the oldest 
unmarried daughter, her Card should read 
simply. 


If the Wedding is a large one, the letters 
R. S. V. P., or an early answer requested, may 
be placed upon the Wedding Reception Cards, 
which may require a prompt answer from the 
receiver, and will enable the giver of the enter¬ 
tainment to ascertain how many guests are to 
be provided for. 

Cards of admission to the Church have now 
become necessary to large Weddings. 

When the “ Ceremony” is performed at home, 
the Church Invitation is omitted, and the “Re¬ 
ception Invitation” is printed on a note sheet, 
and a card is inclosed with the words; 


etemon^ ^ne O c/yc^, 


To be sent to such of the friends as are desired 
to be present. 

Among the new styles is the “ Ecclesiastical,” 
engraved in the pure Church Text of the Thir¬ 
teenth Centur}', and resembling a page of high- 
class ancient manuscript; it is peculiarly suited 
to Church Wedding Invitations, and would read 
as follows ; 



Will be solemnized at the 


(2%. ^ (2^, 

(S/tvcCeye o’c^c^, '/S’yE. 


With Monogram in combined bright and dull 
silver, or in black, to correspond with the invi¬ 
tation. 


CARDS OF ANNOUNCEMENT. 

On large note sheet, of approved shape, with 
monogram in silver. The following form is much 
used ; 


Q- f/tiid ^aaiOf 





And inclosing to those whom you desire to call, 
a Card, thus : 

Qyf/i. ^ Q/fAd-. 

With or without a specified time for callers, or 
after a given date. Or this form : 

^ Qy//lS. ^/^i/t^a7n 

On large Card, with a smaller Card of the Bride. 

The above to be inclosed in handsome Wed¬ 
ding Envelope, with monogram in silver. 


WEDDING ENVELOPES. 

Wedding Envelopes are of tw’o shapes, square 
and oblong, and are made, with the Invitation, of 
the finest English White or Cream paper, highly 
finished ; and the Cards inclosed should in all 
cases correspond exactly in shade and qualit}^ 

Envelopes of smaller size are generallj^ used 
for Announcement and Complimentary Cards. 

Outside Envelopes are indispensable to pro¬ 
perly sending Wedding Invitations, protecting 
the Wedding Envelopes from soiling, and receiv¬ 
ing in full the superscription of the person or 
persons to whom they are sent. Number of 
street, etc., should never be written on the envel¬ 
ope proper—only the name—the street and num¬ 
ber are reserved for the outside envelope. 

In large Cities, many invitations are now de¬ 
livered by post, as being the most expeditious 
and reliable ; although some address should be 
printed on the outside envelope, to insure its re¬ 
turn, should the party to whom it is directed not 
be found. 

Wedding Envelopes are now perfectly plain, 
without beading on the edge, or monogram. 


ANNIVERSARY WEDDINGS. 

The Paper Wedding is in celebration of one 
year married. Invitations issued on peculiar 
styles of* gray paper, resembling a thin paste¬ 
board, would carry out the idea. 

Each Anniversary Wedding-Day coming be¬ 
tween the paper and the wooden, are designated 
the Second, Third, and Fourth Anniversar}'. 

Wooden Wedding, or Fifth Anniversar}- Invita¬ 
tions, are issued on thin cards of wood, slightly 
veined, or on a sheet of wedding note paper, and 
inclosing a card of wood. 

The dates of the marriage and the anniversary 
are given. 

For Tin Weddings, celebrating the Tenth An¬ 
niversar}', the announcement is sometimes on 
tin-foil ; but a prettier style is the invitation on 












3 ^ 


The Stationers' Hand-Book, 


wedding note sheet, in black, and inclosing a tin 
card. 

The Fifteenth Anniversary is celebrated bj- a 
Crj'stal Wedding. Invitations may be issued on j 
colored sheets of prepared “ Gelatine,” or on 
white wedding note sheets, inclosing a sheet of 
Mica, which closely resembles glass. 

Glass trifles are appropriate gifts on such oc¬ 
casions. 


SILVER WEDDINGS. 

For Silver, or Twenty-fifth Anniversar}' Wed¬ 
dings, Invitations shoidd be issued, printed in 
brigTit silver, on the finest paper, with the Mono¬ 
gram or Crest in pure silver. They are sometimes 
issued with “ No Presents” at the bottom of the 
Invitation. 


ANNIVERSARY WEDDING GIFTS. 

Etiquette does not demand the acknowledging 
of an invitation to these Weddings by presenta¬ 
tion of valuable gifts. Members of the family, 
or very intimate friends, are the only persons 
from whom such gifts should be received. In- 
I vited guests should not absent themselves from 
I such festive and agreeable entertainments by any 
false idea requiring them to contribute costly pre-

! presentation of silver and golden articles. For 
amusement and sociability, trifles in paper, tin, 
or wood may be offered by casual as well as per¬ 
sonal friends, on the occasion of Paper, Tin, or 
Wooden Weddings. 


INFORMAL RECEPTIONS. 


1850 .— 1875 . 



Informal Afternoon or Evening Entertainments 
or Receptions promise to become frequent. The 
Invitations to these unceremonious parties are on 
Cards instead of note sheets. 

For other Afternoon Receptions, Cards are also 
used,*with merely the day, and “From Three 
until Six o’clock ” in the left corner. 

For Informal Evening Receptions, the Invita¬ 
tion is usually a Card, with “Thursday Even¬ 
ings,” for instance, in the left corner. These Re¬ 
ceptions continue even through Lent.

Invitations for Weddings, Parties, Balls, etc., 
are usually sent out ten days in advance. 


CHILDREN’S INVITATIONS. 

These Invitations, printed on dainty note paper, 
inclosed in small, square envelopes, have of late 
been very much used for Children’s Parties. 


ACCEPTANCES AND REGRETS. 

Invitations to Dinners, Parties, Balls, etc., 
should be answered promptly ; where the request 
is not mentioned in the invitation, it is understood. 
Where any doubt exists in regard to the ability 
of the person invited to be present at a soiree or 
ball, an acceptance should be sent at once ; and 
if afterward prevented from going, a short note 
of explanation or regret should be dispatched. 
No answers are expected to “ Reception ” Invi¬ 
tations, unless requested. Acceptances and re¬ 
grets are usually sent b}' special messenger, al¬ 
though the foreign custom of sending them by 
post IS gaining favor. 

Answers to Invitations, given in the name of 
the lady and gentleman of the house, are gene¬ 
rally acknowledged to both in the Answer, and 
the envelope addressed to the lady alone.

THE MENU 

AND DINNER-PLATE CARD. 

At private Dinners, conducted with ceremony, 
the Menu, or list of dishes, is laid at each plate— 
an Illuminated Monogram or Crest at the top of 
the page. The list of dishes may be written or 
printed. 

An Illuminated Dinner-plate Card, on which 
the name of each guest is written, is laid on each 
plate, to designate the seats of the guests. 


STATIONERY. 


The new Gray Mot Paper, with black border, 
is particularly stylish and appropriate. 

The paper and envelopes should be stamped 
in black, or black and silver, with monogram or 
crest. 

Visiting Cards should be white or cream, with 
a medium border on both sides. 

The width of border may be varied according 
to fancy. 

MEMORIALS. 

The beautiful idea of the ‘‘ Card in Memoriam ’ 
is being more universally adopted in this coun¬ 
try'. The custom is very general in England, and 
serves as a lasting tribut^e to the memory of a 
dear friend or relative, and will always be grate¬ 
fully received, and can be carefully preserved in 
Albums. A prayer, eulogy, or poetic quotation, 
is sometimes inserted. The Memorial should 
not be sent out until a week or ten days after 
the obsequies. 

London style: 

Glance oP 


English Papers, both White and Tinted, and 
without lines, are now universally used for social 
correspondence, and should be of the finest qual¬ 
ity, either highly finished or mill surface. Note 
papers with lines, or fancy French papers, are not 
considered “ correct,” and are restricted by eti¬ 
quette to correspondents who are on terms o 
great intimacy. 

A new and beautiful paper has been introducedr 
this season, termed the “ Gray Mot." It is a first- 
class paper, of a delicate and agreeable gray tint, 
slightly mottled. 

The Ro)'al Irish Linen Paper is still populan 
and will remain so for some time. 

The sizes most in use are the long sheet, fold¬ 
ing once into square envelopes, and twice into 
oblong envelopes, and the square sheet folding 
once into a very long envelope. A variety of 
other shapes are used, according to fancy. 

Among the new papers now coming into use 
are the “University Plaid,” the “ Quaker City 
Drab,” and a v^erj' highly finished “ Laid ” Paper 
for Weddings, etc. (See chapter on Fancy 
Writing Papers.) 


MOURNING STATIONERY. 

The most elegant Mourning Stationery is now 
produced in delicate and suitable tints, with a 
black border of medium width, on inside as well 
as outside edges. The Cream Tint of the Royal 
Irish Linen Paper is peculiarly suitable to Black 
Bordering ; also, the azure of the same paper, 
which has a quiet and aristocratic appearance 
and is much used in England.

MONOGRAMS, CRESTS, ETC. 

Monograms, in single colors, and illuminated* 
are still much used. Crests and Coats of Arms, 
in bright gold or silver, or illuminated in proper 
colors, are very distingud. Names of country re- 
sideqces, villas, or town houses, are handsomely 
placed upon the upper right corner of the sheet, 
with the capital letters in gold, the rest in color. 
The Monogram or Crest may be placed on the 
opposite corner. Paper, with fancy devices, such 
as animals’heads, butterflies, flowers, insects, etc., 
are also much used. Embossed Monograms, 
stamped in bright gold and silver, and in copper, 
green, red, and orange bronze, will be used this 
season. 

Monograms, this season, are larger than usual, 
and not so broad, and should be of novel and 
original design. Crests and Coats of Arms 
should always be engraved so as to “ emboss ” in 
the paper in metal or colors. 

















Card Etiquette.

HERALDRY. 

Heraldry, like most other inventions, was in¬ 
troduced and established gradually. From the 
rude representation of particular figures, generally 
designed as characteristic of the bearer, it at 
length became a science, methodized and perfect¬ 
ed by the crusaders and tournaments. 

Coats of Arms are thought to be clearly refer¬ 
able to the tournaments, having been then a sort 
of livery. The appellation must be ascribed 
to the fact that the marks of distinction so called 
were chiefly and first worn by military command¬ 
ers on their shields, banners, or other martial ins¬ 
truments. 

After the date of the Norman conquest, heral¬ 
dry made rapid progress in England, and the high 
estimation in which it was held is attested by its 
union with other arts, especially with painting 
and sculpture. 

Thd science of Heraldry teaches how to blazon 
or explain, in proper terms, all that belongs to 
coats of arms ; hereditary marks of honor, made 
up of colors and figures, which serve to denote 
the descent and alliance of the bearer ; or to dis¬ 
tinguish States, Cities, Societies, etc., civil, eccle¬ 
siastical, and militarj\ 

A full coat of arms is made up of the shield, 
supporters, crest, and motto. 

The shield is the field or ground whereon are 
represented the figures and charges. The Dexter 
side is the right, and the Sinister the left of the 
shield. 

By Tinctures is meant that variable color of 
arms, common both to shields and their bearings. 
There are seven tinctures in Heraldry, two of 
which are metals, and five are colors. The me¬ 
tals a.xe gold and silver, termed or and argent ; 
the colors are Blue, Red, Green, Purple, and 
Black, termed, respectively. Azure, Gules, Vert, 
Purpure, and Sable. 

When natural bodies, such as animals, plants, 
or celestial bodies, etc., are introduced into arms, 
they frequently retain their natural colors, which 
is expressed by the word Proper. 

These Tinctures are represented on engravings 
and drawings thus : Or, b}- dots ; Argent\s plain ; 
Azure by horizontal lines ; Gules by perpendicu¬ 


lar lines ; Vert by diagonal lines from the sinister 
chief to the dexter base points ; Ptirpureby diag¬ 
onal lines from the dexter chief to the sinister 
base points ; Sable by perpendicular and horizon- ‘ 
tal lines crossing each other. 

The Crest is above the shield, resting on a 
wreath, crown, helmet, or chapeau. 

Supporters aj^e figures placed at the side of the 
shield ; they are so called because they seem to 
support the shield. The right to bear them is 
confined to Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts, 
Barons, and Knights of the Garter and of the 
Bath. 

The Motto, properly speaking, has no relation 
either to the name or the arms of the bearer, but 
is simply an expression or saying, carried in a 
scroll under or above the arms. 


ILLUMINATING. 

The Art of Illuminating Monograms and 
Coats of Arms has reached such a state of perfec¬ 
tion in this country, that it deserves a passing 
notice. 

To perform this work properly requires years 
of practice, fine judgment, and good taste to pro¬ 
duce the harmonious blending of colors, and the 
best combination of tints matched to the shade of 
the paper, to produce the most pleasing effect. 

By the aid of skillful artists, as well as properly 
engraved dies, the most perfect work of this kind 
is now produced at a reasonable cost, and can 
not fail in finding its place in the “ Escritoire” 
of every fashionable lady and gentleman. 

Coats of Arms or Crests, painted and embla¬ 
zoned, suitable for framing, either for Libraries, 
Portfolios, or Albums, are much in favor; also 
Monograms or Arms, richly Illuminated, on 
Fans. _ 

Engagement and Wedding Rings. 

For Engagement Rings, the Diamond Solitaire 
is the favorite. Single Pearls are also considered 
particularly appropriate. 

The Wedding Ring is of the half round pattern, 
of i8 carat gold, weighing from 8 to 12 dwt. The 
inscription should be simply the Initials of the 
contracting parties, with date.

Most of the prices given are list prices. The prices of American goods are mostly net ; on imported' goods there is a

DRAWING PAPER. j 

. . I 

In these papers, the same as innvntmg paper, i 
there are man}^ varieties, German, French, and 1 
English being the principal kinds used. Drawing I 
paper is made in sheets of different sizes, and also 
in continuous rolls of various widths, qualities, 
weights, and textures. 

Drawing paper of good quality should be well 
sized, so as not to blur when drawn upon with 
India ink, after an erasure. 

The different textures are usually called 
smooth, medium, and rough. Continuous roll 
paper is substituted for hand and machine-made i 
sheet paper to a great extent, the quality being 
equall}' as good as the best sheet paper, and, on 
account of its width, enabling draughtsmen to 
use ver3f large sheets at less cost than the hand¬ 
made sheets. 

Whatman’s paper. 

Whatman’s Paper is hand-made, and of supe¬ 
rior linen stock. The principal kind used is the 
“ Cold-Pressed,” the texture being best adapted 
for architectural, cra3'on, and pencil drawing. 

“ Hot-Pressed ” is better for mechanical and 
geometrical draughting, where ver3' fine lines and 
circles are required. 

“ Rough ” is onl3" used for water color painting, 
the coarse grain giving all colors a much brighter 


hue.

Profile Paper is mostly used by civil engineers,

is printed from accurately engraved plates (the 
horizontal lines generally counting one, two, 
three feet or more, and the light vertical lines 
one hundred feet, making one thousand feet be¬ 
tween each heavy line), it materially assists engi¬ 
neers in calculating embankments and excava¬ 
tions. Plate B, corresponding to Brown’s Pro¬ 
file in sheets, is the principal plate.

for drawing to a scale, reducing drawings,and as 
an assistance in sketching. For sketching and

MATHEMATICAL INSTRUMENTS. 

Mathematical Instruments are known under 
four classes: Swiss Instruments, English Ins¬ 
truments, German Instruments, and French Ins¬ 
truments. 

Swiss Instruments are superior to all others, 
being of more graceful form hand-finished, and 
made of the best German-silver and English steel. 
Each instrument is guaranteed to be perfect. 

English Instruments are very good, but rather 
heavy, and therefore not so popular. 

German Instruments are nicely finished and 
well made ; they- are mostly used by advanced 
students and apprentices, and ma)' even give sat¬ 
isfaction to professional draughtsmen. 

French Instruments recommend themselves on 
account of their great cheapness and compara-

PROTR,\CT©RS. 

Protractors of horn, boxwood, ivory", brass, and 
German-silver, although made rectangular, circu¬ 
lar, and semicircular, with and without arms and 
verniers, are all used for the same purpose, viz. ; 
laydng off angles. 

Ivory^ and German-silver are well made, and 
very accurately divided. Brass, horn, and box¬ 
wood are extensively used in schools. They may 
be had in all styles, from 40 cents to $1.25. 

MISCELLANEOUS GOODS. 

PAPER SCALES. 

\ 

Paper Scales, being printed on flexible card¬ 
board, are often used for measuring circular parts 
of machinery, etc. 

Series A, B, and C, each. .$i 25 

SCALES. 

Scales are m^de of boxwood, ivory, and metal. 
Boxwood is the material mostly' used, ivory being 
too expensive, and metal too heavy. 

These scales are clearly’ cut, and made to con¬ 
form to the U. S. Standard of measurement. 
They may be had either flat or triangular, at prices 
ranging from 15 cents too $2 each. 

EBONY PARALLEL RULERS. 

The ordinary plain parallel ruler, used for 
drawing parallel lines, hatching, and shading 
consists of two similar straight rulers, connected 
by two metal bars, jointed upon them at equal 
angles, the joints forming centres, upon which 
the instruitient works. 

The principal sizes are 6, 9, 12, and 15 inches, 
and cost from $2.50 to $q per dozen. 

WOODEN DRAUGHTING IMPLEMENTS. 

Straight Edges, T-Squares, Triangles, etc., until 
a recent date, were almost exclusively imported, 
but are now manufactured in this country', as 
good, if not better, than the imported article. 

The great disadvantage of the imported T- 
Squares, Triangles, etc., is the influence of the 
American temperature upon the wood, which, 
although well seasoned enough to keep straight 
abroad, almost invariably'warps and shrinks after 
arriving here. 

In price, the home manufacture can compete 
with imported goods of the same quality.

from $3.50 to $35 per dozen. Triangles, etc., 
from $2 to $15 per dozen. Curves, from $1.75 to 
$2.25 per dozen. 

DRAWING BOARDS. 

Must be made of perfectly seasoned wood, or

HARD RUBBER DRAWING TOOLS. 

All tools of hard rubber are highly recom¬ 
mended. Their superiority over others is proved 
and recognized by the best authorities. They are 
annealed, and consequently not affected by 
changes of temperature. The Triangles and 
Curves are of the utmost durability in comparison 
with those made of wood, which either break or 
get loose at the joints. The density of the rubber 
permits a very high finish on the edges, equal to 
metal, which is a great advantage to the Angles, 
Curves, Rules, and T-Squares. 

Tliey can be had in all sizes, and cost a little 
more than wood. 

WINSOR & newton’s WATER-COLORS. 

Moist colors are preferred for landscape 
sketching, as they are more convenient for out¬ 
door use. They contain less gum arabic than 
hard colors, and give a smoother and more uni¬ 
form wash. 


To be had in all colors, prices varying accord¬ 
ing to the color. 

Whole Cakes, or Pans, per dozen, $3, $6, $7.50, 
$12.75, and $i8. 

Half Cakes, or Pans, per dozen, $1.65, $3, 
$3-75. $6.38, and $9. 

WATER COLOR LIQUIDS. 

These colors may be had in Chinese White, 
Indian Ink, Ox Gall, Gold Ink, Carmine, Indel¬ 
ible Brown Ink, Prout’s Brown, Sepia, Blue and 
Green, and vary from $3 to $6 per dozen bottles. 

CHINESE OR INDIAN INK. 

This Ink is of a beautiful brown or bluish hue, 
best adapted for shading, and indispensable to 
artists for its brilliancy of shade ; it is also pref¬ 
erable to any other ink for tracing purposes. In 
cakes, from 25 cents to $10 each. 

JAPANESE INK. 

This Ink is best adapted for mechanical draw¬ 
ings, where lines are frequently washed, in apply¬ 
ing brush tints. The lines drawn with this ink 
will remain clear and distinct, and will not be 
blurred or defaced by the brush. In cakes, from 
$i to $5.-

LEAD PENCILS. 

By Orestes Cle\'eland, President of the Joseph Dixon Crucible Company of Jersey City. 


For nearly half a century the fine pencils manu¬ 
factured under the name of A. W. Faber, at Stein, 
in Bavaria, have been the acknowledged standard 
in the United States. The Eagle Pencil Com¬ 
pany, whose fine goods were manufactured at 
Fiirth, Bavaria, have made a moderate effort to 
dispute this market with Faber within a few 
years, but without much success. The American 
Lead Pertcil Company, so called, have also for 
several years been trying to satisfy the market 
with the same grade of pencils. Mr. Eberhard 
Faber established a factory here in order to sup¬ 
ply the American trade with a cheaper class of 
goods, which he calls “ domestic pencils,” and 
they have been very favorabh' received. The 


Eagle Company did the same thing for the same 
purpose, and the American Lead Pencil Compa¬ 
ny also undertook a competition in cheap pen¬ 
cils ; but Faber’s pencils have maintained their 
position as the standard, both in fine (foreign) 
goods and in the cheaper (domestic) kinds. 

A new pencil has been placed in the market 
by the Dixon Crucible Compan}', of Jersey City, 
within the past three years, that has been very 
favorably received. It is highly finished, and the 
leads are reliable and perfect!}' graded. It is 
made in round and hexagon, in various styles- 
and already occupies a prominent position in the 
trade. ' 

The F.\ber Pencils are graded as follows, viz.:

as for the same stamps on the drawing pencils 
above. 

The five grades are kept fn stock in the “ cedar

“ satin finish ” both in round and hexagon. 

The SM and M grades are kept in stock, also 
in maroon color, both in round and hexagon, 
and in black round. 

The above are all of the finest quality. The 
Dixon Company also offers medium grades and

GOLD PENS. 

By J. Morton. 


In respect to Gold Pens, America is not only 
independent of importation, but is in the world 
facile princeps. Europe, indeed, has never at¬ 
tempted to send us this form of manufacture, but 
yearly receives quite largely from us. In this 
country'. New-York is eminently the centre of 
the trade. There are several firms here who 
are unequaled, and who have carried the pro¬ 
duction probably as i;ear to perfection as is pos¬ 
sible with the nature of the materials employed. 

One noticeable feature of the trade, at present, 
is the increasing demand for the best goods. It 
is being at last discovered that a gold pen is not 
an ornament ; and that its value consists in its 
utility. If it will not write it is worthless as a 
pen, and is like a razor which will not shave, or a 
watch that will not keep time. 

Now it is unfortunate that a case filled-with the 
poorest goods in the market, looks about as well 
as one filled with the finest. Indeed, scarcely 
any thing else so attractive is to be seen in a 
stationer’s store. Dealers have thus often been 
deceived, and in the end disgusted, as well as 
their customers, and gone back to the use of 
steel pens ; for a good steel pen is much better 
than a poor gold one. But a gold pen can be 
made to do all that a steel pen can do. It can be 
made as coarse, or as fine; as stiff, or as lirqber ; 
as responsive to the touch in every curve and 
shading of a letter ; and as true in depositing 
the ink as a steel pen. At the same time, it is in¬ 
comparable in durability; in the uniformity it 
gives to writing ; and in the great relief it affords 
to the hand which has become adapted to it 
through years of use. The writer’s cramp, so 
common among those who use steel pens, is 
unknown among those who use gold pens. 

In selecting a stock of pens, the dealer will do 
well to look carefully at the slit. A pen with a 
wide slit, a crooked slit, or one which is not con¬ 
centric, will never write well; yet these are com¬ 
mon faults in gold pens, and are never found in 
steel pens. He will do well also, for himself, to 
see that the points do not droop much when re¬ 
lieved from mutual pressure. But perhaps the 
best rule is, “ get the best pens of the best 
maker.” 


On this point it may be said that there is but 
little excuse for the purchase of inferior goods. 
The best are very accessible and very cheap. 
About six dollars per dozen will buy the smallest 
sizes of the best quality and of the best makers, 
and the average sizes in use are sold at from 
twelve to eighteen dollars per dozen. 

Attention should also be given to the fact that 
the numbers on the pens do not indicate absolute 
size, each manufacturer using his own standard. 

During the past year, the writer has very suc¬ 
cessfully introduced a new material into the 
manufacture of pencils and pen-holders. It is 
known as Celluloid, and is undoubtedly destined 
to supersede the use of rubber and ivory in this 
line of trade. 

Its advantages over rubber are many ; 

1st. The sulphur used in vulcanizing the rub¬ 
ber evaporates, and readily combines with the 
gold, both in the pens and holders, tarnishing 
them, and often rendering the pens ver}" brittle. 

2d. The sulphur also destroys every delicate 
•pigment, and so rubber can be made in no de¬ 
sirable color but black, and even that, when ex¬ 
posed to the light, soon fades, and becomes a 
ding}' green, then a brown. 

Celluloid is free from these objections ; can be 
used in the most delicate colors ; and will neither 
stain nor fade in any ver}’ perceptible manner. 

It is employed extensively in the manufacture 
of coral jewelry, which can be distinguished from 
real coral only in weight, celluloid being very 
light. This color, also those of pink and blue, 
in pencils and pen-holders, afford a pleasing 
novelty, and sell very rapidly. 

When mounted in eighteen-carat gold (the only 
quality with which rubber can be used), the price 
of the manufactured article is the same as the 
corresponding rubber goods. In lower grades of 
gold, the price is about twenty per cent less. 

In the use of Celluloid for ivgry, its advantages 
are that it does not crack ; does not lose its white 
color ; and can be slit, so as to be used in a much 
greater variety of goods. 

A full line of these goods can be secured this 
season for the fall and holiday trade, in a very 
great variety of attractive forms. 







Fancy Goods. 


47 


FANCY GOODS. 

By Chas. D. Pratt, of A.'^ E. Wallach. 


The term “ Fancy Goods ” has, by long usage, 
become so thoroughly adopted as descriptive of 
various artistic ornaments and conveniences of 
the parlor, boudoir, or counting-room, that many 
of the experts of the jobbing and retail trades are 
at times prone to forget that under a title so well 
known are now to be found numerous articles 
which range all the way from absolute necessities 
to elegant luxuries. There are few homes in the 
United States, however humble, but are often in 
need of some thing for toilet convenience, or to 
give an air of comfort and elegance to rooms that 
would otherwise be stiff and cold ; and even a 
few dollars judiciously expended in these useful 
and beautiful articles will afford more lasting 
pleasure than much larger sums spent upon gifts 
so frail in construction or so nearly useless as to 
be but poorly calculated for every-day life. This 
is an era of economy, and purchases are therefore 
chiefly made of merchandise which has an intrin¬ 
sic value for its usefulness. Here our dealers 
meet the popular demand with a lengthy list of 
goods of positive utility, and almost daily request. 
The aim is to make suitable provision of all 
goods available in this line of business, and to 
secure these wherever superior designs and ex¬ 
cellence of workmanship can be found. To this 
end there have been large importations of stand¬ 
ard articles, and also many attractive novelties. 

The goods that have recently arrived from the 
principal factories of the Continent will bear close 
scrutiny, and ofl'er favorable opportunity to buy¬ 
ers. There are, however, certain articles wdiich 
can now be manufactured in this country in a 
very superior manner, of equally good, or better 
material, and at a cost less than the imported. 
Among such may be mentioned Writing-Desks, 
also Pocket-Books, both of which items call for 
careful attention. For those who have the means 
to gratify their artistic inclinations at higher 
prices, there are verj' elegant selections of goods, 
suitable for holiday.or bridal gifts ; in fact, the 
assortment of merchandise of either low-priced, 
medium, or more valuable articles, will be found 
large and very desirable. 

The general line of fancy goods and goods 
known by that name is so extensive, that any thing 
like a full description is an impossibility. It is 
possible, however, to designate certain lines of 
goods, and indicate to what classes and national¬ 
ities the)f belong. In doing this, many repetitions 
are unavoidable, inasmuch as England, France, 
Germany, and in many instances the United 
States, produce the same general lines of goods. 


But even in this classification, it must be remem¬ 
bered that certain kinds of goods are known as 
French, German, or English, when they are made 
in other countries than the one from whence they 
obtain their name. Most fancy goods being of 
foreign manufacture, definite prices can not be 
given; all prices, therefore, are only approximate, 
and depend, to a great extent, upon the premium 
on gold. The annexed list is confined to what are 
known as Booksellers’ and Stationers’ Fancy 
Goods, as these goods have come to be recognized 
as regular stock in a retail store. Holida}" Goods 
are, of course, included. 

American Goods are for the most part specialties 
in which some manufacturers have obtained a re¬ 
putation. In Pocket-Books, Messrs. Hopfensack 
&Co., Wolf & Co., and C. D. Pratt, of New-York, 
and Rumpp & Co., of Philadelphia, Rubens & 
Co., Levy’s, and Eastern manufacturers, may 
be mentioned. These goods are made in the 
finer lines of the best imported leather, specially 
selected for export to this country, and in design 
and finish, price and durability, successfully 
compete with foreign productions of a similar 
kind. In domestic Desks, the principal desid¬ 
eratum is to make a desk that is capable of sus¬ 
taining the severe heat and cold of our climate 
without warping, splitting, or cracking, and some 
manufacturers (noticeably C. D. Pratt and Cul- 
bert & Co.) warrant their goods to resist the 
climatic influence on wood, whether it be the 
heat of a New-Orleans summer or the cold of a 
New-Hampshire winter. This, of course, gives 
these desks a great advantage over the imported 
article, although, in inlaid and engraved work, 
the Europeans excel. 

Desks range from $30 to $60 per dozen, and 
come in Rose, Mahogany, Black Walnut, Ash, 
Maple, “Gray” Wood, etc. 

Pocket-Books cost from $3 to $75 per dozen. 
English Goods may be had in all varieties, and 
in general they are noticeable for the solid and 
durable manner in which the}' are made, more 
attention being given to their lasting qualities 
than to elegance of design. The more popular 
lines of English goods, with their approximate 
prices, are as follows : 

Animal Pen-Wiper.s, in all varieties of Dogs, 
one, two, three, and four Pups, Cats, Hens, 
Mice, Monkeys, etc., from $2 to $9 per 
dozen. 

Backgammon Boards, singly and in nests, 10, 12, 
and 14 inches, from $12 to $84 per dozen.

also pearl and inlaid, from $4 to $25 each. 
Desks, Rose-wood, Ash, Walnut, etc., inlaid, 
brass corners, secret drawers, etc., from $36 
to $120 each.

Leather, the fittings being superior to either 
French or German Goods, from $24 to $200 
per dozen. 

Library Inkstands, from $72 to $120 per dozen. 
Portfolios, from $24 to $72 per dozen. 

Scotch Plaid Goods, such as Segar Cases, Match 
Boxes, Trinket Cases, Pin Boxes, Sewing 
Cases, etc., from $2 to $36 per dozen. 

Work Boxes, from $36 to $96 per dozen. 

French Goods are in general more fanciful and 
elaborate than the English, and for the most part 
consist of small articles, which it would be diffi¬ 
cult to enumerate. The following may be given, 
however, with approximate prices : 

Dressing Cases, from $5 to $50 each. 

Dominos, from $2 to $60 per dozen.

COMBINATIONS FOR SMALL ORDERS. 


By E. Lyon, Superintendent of the Stationery Depai-tnient of the American Neros Company. 


We understand from a number of stationers, 
who do a large business in mail orders from all 
parts of the United States, that they are almost 
daih- in receipt of inquiries relative to small lots of 
goods. These hiquiries come, almost invariably, 
from persons who are about to lay in a small 
stock of stationery, in connection with some other 
business. They are, consequently, ignorant of the 
details of the business ; and, as a general thing, 
their capital being limited, they are desirous of 
laying out their money to the best advantage, and 
of having a well-assorted stock of goods that are 
called for daily. It is true that stationery includes 
almost every article in the notion line, and that 
goods that are salable in one section of the coun¬ 
try may be dead stock in some other place, yet 
it is possible to specify a line of goods that are 
indispensable to all sections. 

Children’s Toy Books, which are not enumera¬ 
ted in the lists, can be had in well-assorted lots 
at $4, $8, and $i6, containing such books as retail 
from three to tvvent3'-five cents each. 

The’prices are onlj' approximate. In sending 
orders, a margin should be allowed for a possible 
advance.

PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS. 

By K. Newell. 


The following explanation of the laws, with 
abstracts of decisions relating to patents, copy¬ 
rights, and trade-marks, is given for the use of 
the Stationer}' and Fancy Goods trades, so that 
the inventor of an article may know what to do 
with it, and under what head it should come. 

“ Any person who has invented or discovered 
any new and useful art. machine, manufacture 
or composition of matter, or any new and useful 
improvement thereof, not known nor used by 
others in this country, and not patented or de¬ 
scribed in any printed publication in this or any 
foreign country, before his invention or discovery 
thereof, and not in public use or on sale for more 
than two years prior to his application, unless the 
same is proved to have been abandoned, may, 
upon payment of the fees required by law, and 
other due proceedings had, obtain a patent there¬ 
for.” 

(Rev. Stat., Sec. 4886.) 

Patents are divided into two classes—mechan¬ 
ical patents and design patents. Between the 
mechanical and design as classes of invention, 
there is a wide distinction, and although the patent 
privileges extend to each alike—and each must 
be the result or product of inventive genius—still 
they are as distinct from each other, as either is 
from a copyright, and the character of the appli¬ 
cation for a patent must be made to come under 
the privileges relating to its special class, either 
mechanical or design. 

“ It is not a matter of discretion with the com¬ 
missioner whether the subject of an application 
be a machine or a design for a manufacture. It 
is a matter of law in which a mistake is fatal." 
(Commissioner’s Decisions, 1869, Fisher, p. 103.) 

The grant of letters patent for designs was first 
authorized by the act of August 29, 1842. This 
statute was superseded by the act approved 
March 2d, 1861, which differs in several points, 
but which has been again superseded by the 
present law, the act approved July 8, 1870, 
which reads as follows : 

“Any person who', by his own industry', genius. 


efforts, and expense, has invented and produced 
any new and original design for a manufacture, 
bust, statue, alto-relievo, or bass-relief ; any new 
and original design for the printing of woolen, 
silk, cotton, or other fabrics ; any new and orig¬ 
inal impression, ornament, patent (pattern) print, 
or picture to be printed, painted, cast, or other¬ 
wise placed on or worked into any article of 
manufacture; or any new, useful and original 
shape or configuration of any article of manufac¬ 
ture, the same not having been known or uSed by 
others before his invention or production there¬ 
of, or patented or described in any printed publi¬ 
cation ; may, upon payment of the fee prescribed, 
and other due proceedings had the same as in 
cases of inventions or discoveries, obtain a patent 
therefor.” 

(Rev. Stat., Sec. 4929.) 

Under the acts of 1842 and 1861 an alien was 
prohibited from taking out a patent for a design 
unless he had resided one year in the United 
States, and had taken his oath to become a citizen. 

The act of 1870, more liberal in its privileges, 
says any person shall have the benefit of its pro¬ 
tection, whether citizen or alien. 

A mechanical patent is granted for one term of 
seventeen years. 

Patents for designs are granted for the term 
of three and one half years, or for seven year.s, or 
fourteen years. At the time of making appli¬ 
cation, the applicant must elect the term for which 
he wishes his patent to issue. 

Since the passage of the act of July 8, 1870, 
the commissioner has no power to extend design 
patents issued since March 2. 1861. 

Now it is clearly understood that these two 
classes of inventions are patentable under differ¬ 
ent acts, and the numerous decisions lately made 
in regard to the scope of the statute relating to 
patents for designs have greatly tended to en¬ 
courage the production of forms of beauty—that 
is, giving to our ordinary articles of use a form, 
configuration, or ornamentation that will be pleas¬ 
ing to the eye. 

























56 


The Stationers' Hand-Book. 


“ The acts of Congress wliich authorize the 
grant of patents for designs were plainly intended 
to give encouragement to the decorative arts.” 

(See Gorham M’f'g Co. z'j. White, U. S. Su¬ 
preme Court, Strong, J., 1871.) 

“The law manifestly contemplates that giving 
certain new and original appearances to a manu¬ 
factured article may enhance its salable value, 
may enlarge the demand for it, and may be a 
meritorious service to the public.”—^"Ibid. 

Take for instance the innumerable articles in 
the stationer’s trade which are in common use, 
which are susceptible of transformation from an 
uncomel}' shape to a pleasing and artistic form 
or configuration. To the creator or producer of 
these new and beautiful forms and designs, the 
law extends its advantages, and secures to him, 
for a limited time, all the benefit arising from the 
sale of such productions, and protects him against 
imitations of his inventions. 

To add to the ornamental and artistic beauty 
of an article increases its value. 

The inventor “ must, by the exercise of indus¬ 
try and genius, invent or produce, not only a new, 
but an original design. He must do a little more 
than invent, he must produce—that is, create.” 

(See Commissioner’s Decisions, 1871, p. 251.) • 

“ The law authorizing design patents was in¬ 
tended to provide for an entirely different class 
of inventions ”—(that is, from those coming under 
mechanical patents)—“ inventions in the field of 
aesthetics, taste, beauty, ornament.”—Ibid. 

The law in reference to granting of patents for 
designs seems to apply solely to the external or¬ 
namentation or shape of articles of manufacture. 
It has nothing whatever to do with the mechanical 
construction. Function can form no part of a 
design patent. 

A mode of construction, or a change of form, 
\v\\(rcehy 3. different operation is produced, would 
come under the act set forth in Section 4886, for 
functional patents, which reads, “ has invented 
any new and useful art, machine, 7 nanufacture, or 
composition of matter.” 

Section 4937, for designs, reads, “ has invent¬ 
ed or produced an)' new and original design for 
a manufacture.” 

The subjects for patents under the former being 
new manufactures, those of the latter being appli¬ 
cable to manufactures, new or old. 

When a change of form or proportion is made, 
and by that change a new effect or operation is 
thereby produced, then the invention will come 
under the head of mechanical patents. 

Four subjects of inventions are embraced in 
this statute—an art, machine, manufacture, and 
composition of matter. 

Each is different from the other, but each is 


protected under the same law. “A new and use¬ 
ful art ” is a new process, or “ a new mode of at¬ 
taining an old result,” as a new process of making 
iron. A new machine is “ a new arrangement or 
combination of machinery, whether of old or new 
parts or materials, producing in its arrangement 
and combination a new and useful residt.” 

“ The principle of a machine is the particular 
means of producing a given result by a mechan¬ 
ical contrivance.” 

(Parker vs. Stiles, 5, McLean, 63.) 

A person may discover a new process, irre¬ 
spective of the particular form of machine needed 
to carry out that process ; another may invent a 
machine by which the process may be performed, 
and each will be entitled to a patent, one for the 
process, and the other for the machine. 

Third—for new manufactures. 

“ Perhaps the best general definition of the term 
‘ manufacture ’ as the subject of a patent would 
be, any new combination of old materials, consti¬ 
tuting a new result or production, in the form of 
a vendible article.” The use of old materials in 
other combinations may have been known before ; 
but if they are used in a new combination, produ¬ 
cing a 7 ie%u result, there will be good subject for a 
patent for a ‘ manufacture.’ ” 

(See Cornish vs. Keene, Web. Pat. Cases, 512.) 

“ If the article is produced and intended to be 
sold and used separately, as a merchantable com¬ 
modity, and the merit of it, as an invention, con¬ 
sists in its being a better article than had been 
before known, or in its being produced by a 
cheaper process, then it may properly be con¬ 
sidered simply as a manufacture.” 

(Curtis on Patents, p. 21.) 

A composition of matter is the fourth subject 
mentioned in this statute. 

It is an invention or discovery of a new com¬ 
pound or new substance, possessing qualities that 
have never been used before in any material with 
the same combination. 

The product and the process maybe both new, 
or the product may be new, and the process of 
making it old. 

“'If a compound is made (not before known) of 
different ingredients, it is ground for a patent, 
not for the thing constructed, but for the com¬ 
pounds of which made.” 

(See Hotchkiss Exrs. vs. Greenwood, 4, 
McLean, 461.) 

It is not necessary that every ingredient in the 
compound should be new, but it is material to 
the obtaining of a patent that there should be a 
new combination of ingredients. 

This subject of inventions includes medicinal 
compounds, compositions used in the arts, etc., 
and offers a large field for inventive genius.

Patents and Copyrights. 


Every invention, in order to be patentable, 
must meet the requirements of the statutes as to 
its novelt}' and utility, but it is held that “ if an 
invention be both new and useful, it can not be 
impeached because it does not accomplish all 
that a sanguine inventor has claimed for it.” 

(See Eames vs. Cook, Sprague, J., iS6o.) 

“The word useful is used in contradistinction 
to mischievous or immoral.” (Kneas vs. Schuyl, 
Washington, J., 1820.) 

If an invention is in public use more than two 
years, it is fatal to the obtaining of a patent. 
Nor must an inventor sleep upon his invention, 
and allow another to perfect and put it into use. 
The diligent inventor, though not the first, will 
get the reward. 

TRADE-MARKS. 

Sec. 4937, Rev. Stat., p. 963, says ; 

“Any person or firm domiciled in the United 
States, and any corporation created by the au¬ 
thority of the United States, or of any State or 
Territory thereof, and an}^ person, firm, or corpo¬ 
ration resident of or located in any foreign 
country, which, by treaty or convention, affords 
similar privileges to citizens of the United 
States, and who are entitled to the exclusive use 
of any lawful trade-mark, or who intend to adopt 
and use any trade-mark for exclusive use within 
the United States, may obtain protection for such 
lawful trade-mark by complying with the follow¬ 
ing requirements ; 

“ First. By causing to be recorded in the Pat¬ 
ent Office the names of the parties, and their 
residences and places of business, who desire 
the protection of the trade-mark. 

“Second. The class of merchandise and the 
particular description of goods comprised in 
such class, b)^ which the trade-mark has been or 
is intended to be appropriated. 

“Third. A description of the trade-mark it¬ 
self, with fac-similes thereof, and the mode in 
which it has been or is intended to be applied 
and used. 

“Fourth. The length of time, if any, during 
which the trade-mark has been used. 

“ Fifth. The payment of a fee of twenty-five 
dollars, in the same manner and for the same 
purpose as the fee required for patents. 

“ Sixth. The compliance with such regulations 
as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of 
Patents. 

Seventh. The filing of a declaration, under 
the oath of the person, or of some member of 
the firm or officer of the corporation, to the effect 
that the party claiming protection for the trade¬ 
mark has a right to the use of the same, and that 
no other person, firm, or corporation has a right 
to such use, either in the identical form, or having 


such near resemblance thereto as might be cal¬ 
culated to deceive, and that the description and 
fac-similes presented for record are true copies 
of the trade-mark sought to be protected. The 
oath must also state the domicile and citizenship 
of the person desiring registration. 

A label or trade-mark, is a kind of property, 
and the owner is protected in the exclusive en¬ 
joyment of all the benefits to be derived from its 
use. 

“When a person forms a new word to desig¬ 
nate an article made by him, which has never 
before been used, he may obtain such a right to 
that name as to entitle him to the sole use of it 
as against others who attempt to use it for the 
sale of a similar article.” 

(Wolfe w. Gourard, 18 How., Pr.67, Ingraham,}.) 

“Words, as used in an}’ language, can not be 
appropriated by any one, to his exclusive use, to 
designate an article sold by him similar to that 
for which they were previously used.” 

(Ibid., 67.) 

It has been held that when a person combines 
letters so as to form a word before unknown, 
and appropriates such word as his trade-mark, 
and stamps it upon certain articles manufactured 
by him, he thereby acquires rights which will be 
protected under the statute. 

“ A manufacturer or vender of an article can 
not acquire a right to an exclusive employment 
of a word or words having an established mean¬ 
ing, to qualify the name of such article, so as to 
deprive every other person of the right of using 
such words to designate any other article, appa¬ 
rently similar, when the words are such as have 
no reference to the origin, ownership, or manu¬ 
facture of such article.” 

(Corwin z'j. Daly.—Upton on Trade-Marks, 191.) 

Every stationer has a right to distinguish the 
paper, pens, ink, and a hundred other articles 
that he manufactures and sells, by a peculiar 
trade-mark, in order that such goods of a certain 
quality may be known in the market to be his, 
and may be an assurance to the public of their 
superiority over others. The use of such trade¬ 
mark will be protected in a court of equity. 

A trade-mark can not be merely the name of a 
person, firm, or corporation, unaccompanied with 
some device to distinguish it from the same name 
used by other persons ; yet, if such name or 
names are employed with any peculiar symbols, 
devices, or emblems, it will become a lawful 
trade-mark. 

The law of trade-marks is of but recent origin, 
and is designed to protect a person in the right 
and sole privilege of selling his own goods. 

It is not necessary that the article or ccmpound 
should be new—its use may be open to every

one—but when once designated b}’ a specific 
trade-mark by one person, it can not be sold 
under that appetlation by another without in¬ 
fringement. 

“ There is no essential difference in kind, in 
reference to the protection to be granted to trade¬ 
marks, between establishments formed for the 
purpose of trade, and those formed for the pur¬ 
pose of mere amusement.” 

(Christy vs. Murphy, 12 How. Pr., 78.) 

“The plaintiff organized a band of performers 
of negro minstrelS)', and named them after him¬ 
self, ‘ Christy’s Minstrels.’ Held, that he was 
entitled to the e.xclusive use of that name.” 

(Ibid., 78, 79.) 

There are now being registered in the Patent 
Office, from twenty to thirty trade-marks weekly, 
embracing almost every kind of articles—upon 
cigars, as “ Dovetails,” “ Ovalados,” “ Triple 
Alliance.” Upon stoves and grates, “Anti- 
clogger” and “ Peerless.” 

print, cut, or label can not be registered as 
a trade-mark. 

Sec. 3 of the act of june 18, 1874, specially 
provides for the protection of this class of matter. 

Webster defines the word print or label as “a 
narrow slip of silk, paper, parchment, etc., affixed 
to any thing denoting its contents, ownership, 
and the like.” 

The label may describe the peculiar virtues of 
the contents, the place where made, or the man¬ 
ner of using or taking, and ma3-be in appearance 
distinct in itself, yet it will not be a proper sub¬ 
ject for registration as a trade-mark, but will 
come under the act of 1874, which provides that 
such matter shall be protected by a copyright. 

If the person goes a little further, and adds to 
his print, cut, or label, chosen combinations of 
letters, figures, symbols, or other devices not be¬ 
fore used, then the print, cut, or label becomes a 
proper subject for registration as a trade-mark. 

Printed publications can have their titles regis¬ 
tered as trade-marks—but the title must be dis¬ 
tinctive —unlike the title of an\' other publication. 

The protection for a trade-mark remains in 
orce thirty 3"ears, and the fee for registration is 


twent3'-five dollars. It can be renewed for thirt3' 
years longer, upon pa3'ment of a second fee. 

COPYRIGHTS. 

Sec. 4952, Rev. Stat., says : 

“An3" citizen of the United States, or resident 
therein, who shall be the author, inventor, de¬ 
signer, or proprietor of an3' book, map, chart, 
dramatic or musical composition, engraving, cut, 
print, or photograph or negative thereof, or of a 
painting, drawing, chromo, statue, statuar3% and 
of models or designs intended to be perfected as 
works of the fine arts, and his executors, admin¬ 
istrators, or assigns, shall, upon compl3’ing with 
the provisions of this act, have the sole liberty 
of printing, reprinting, publishing, completing, 
cop3dng, executing, finishing, and vending the 
same, and in case of a dramatic composition, of 
publicl3" performing or representing it, or causing 
it to be performed or represented b3’ others ; and 
authors ma3' reserve the right to dramatize or to 
translate their own works. ” 

Cop3 rights shall be granted for the term of 
twent3"-eight 3'ears from the time of recording the 
title thereof, and can be extended for fourteen 
years longer, if application is made within six 
months before the expiration of the original term. 

A cop3' of such record of renewal must be 
published within two months of its date, in one 
or more newspapers printed in the United States, 
for the space of four weeks. 

The fee for recording the title or description of 
an3'copyright, book, or other article, is fifty cents. 

For every copy under seal of such record given 
to the person claiming such copyright, fifty cents. 

Within ten days after the publication of the 
copyright, book, or other article, two copies must 
be mailed to the librarian of Congress. In case 
of a drawing, painting, statue, statuary, model, or 
design, for a work of the fine arts, a photograph 
of the same must be sent as above mentioned. 
Upon failure to do this, the proprietor of the 
copyright shall be liable to a penalty of twent3'- 
five dollars, to be recovered b3’ the librai ian of 
Congress, in the name of the United States. 

A label used in the sale of an3' article does 
not come within the provisions of the statute 
respecting copyrights. 









The Sizes of Printed Books.

THE SIZES OF PRINTED BOOKS. 


By Charles Sotheran. 


Books ascend in size from the puny “ Kara 
av'is in bibliographia,” the i28mo to the ponder¬ 
ous folio. 

Tlie following table will be found to be accu¬ 
rate, in denominating the sizes of most books, 


which is taken from the name of the size of sheet 
when folded. As booksellers are generally accus¬ 
tomed to anglicize the terms with little regard to 
the old Latin affix or termination, the numeralized 
contraction is given :

The correct size of a volume is determined by 
the number of leaves into which the binder folds i 
each single sheet of paper after the printer has 
finished therewith ; If a sheet is folded once in 
the middle it becomes a folio, if twice a 4to, at \ 
the third folding an 8vo, the fourth a i6mo, the ; 
fifth a 32mo, the sixth a 64mo, and at the sev- | 
enth an i28mo. A 121110 is made by cutting oflT I 
one third of the sheet and placing it between the j 
other pages, and for a 241110, sbnio, 48mo, etc., | 
the same process is adopted. 

“ Signatures” are the capital letters or figures I 
under the foot-line of the first page of each sheet, i 
and indicate the order in which they should be 
bound. In English works the signatures are the 
letters of the alphabet, and it is usual to begin the 
first sheet of all works with “ B,” leaving “ A ” j 
for the Title sheet. In American and French 
works Arabic numerals are now used in place 
of alphabet signatures. The number of the sheet 
or half sheets is'frequentl}' printed at the foot 
of the first page of each in Arabic numerals. 

The “ Recto” denominates the right-hand page 
of a book, and is always an odd number, in con¬ 
tra-distinction to the “Verso,” which is always 
the even in pagination and on the left-hand side. 
In mediaeval times the term recto applied to the 
side of a sheet of parchment written on; the 
blank side was called the verso, or reverse. 

In most works printed previous to the last 
twenty-five to thirty years, the secret of the cor¬ 
rect size of a book is discovered by a very easy 
method—Find the signature on the recto of the 
first page of the second sheet. 

There are as many leaves in each size as the 
prefix of that size indicates, and which can usually 
be inferred from the signatures, or numbers at the 


bottom of each page of the recto of a new sheet. 
In order to determine the real size of a bound 
volume, find the signature and count the leaves 
to the next—say from “ C ” to “ D,” or from 3 to 
4. If you find two leaves, the book must be a 
folio, if 4 leaves a 4to, if eight an 8vo, and so on 
to the i28mo. 

Another test can be used by finding the bind¬ 
ers’ threads running through the middle of every 
sheet, and the number of leaves from one thread 
to the next will give the same result as if it had 
been counted from signature to signature. 

It may be added that if a book be a folio, the 
second signature will be at page 5 ; if a 4to, at 
page 9 ; if an 8vo, at page 17 ; a i2mo, at 25 ; a 
i6mo, at 33 ; an i8mo, at 37 ; a 2omo, at 41 ; a 
241110, at 49 ; a 32mo, at 65 ; a 36mo, at 73 ; a 48mo, 
at 97 ; a 64nio, at 129 ; a 72mo, at 145 ; a 96mo, at 
193 ; and a i28mo, at 257. ' 

Frequently additional duplicate signatures with 
numerals attached are placed on some of the pages 
of a sheet after the first. When this is done, signa¬ 
tures B, B2, will be found in aqto on pages i and 3 ; 
on an 8vo B, B2, B3 on i, 3 and 5 ; on a i2mo 
B, B2, B3, on I, 3 and 9 ; on a i6nio B, B2, B3, 
B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, on pages i, 3, 5, 7, 9, ii, 13 
and 15 ; in the smaller sizes it is somewhat the 
same, and it should be an eas)’ matter for the tyro 
in bibliography, with the above before him, to soon 
learn where these signatures are. 

No signatures will, as a rule,' be found in 
black-letter books of the fifteenth and sixteenth 
centuries, when the paper was made to imitate 
vellum. Where this is the case, the best means 
to distinguish the size of the volume is from 
the position of the water-lines and water-marks, 
which it is necessary to closely inspect. 


































6o 


The Stationers' Hand-Book 


Water-lines are the horizontal or perpendicular 
transparent marks or lines discernible in paper, 
and caused by the wires of the mould ; they are 
named in German, tvassermarke, in French, 
poutusaux; when crossed at right angles "bj’ the 
water-mark they are denominated fonnsti’eifer in 
German, vergeures in French. Water-lines are 
always perpendicular on a folio page, in all others 
horizontal, with the exception of the 241110, in 
which they are frequently horizontal and occasion¬ 
ally perpendicular. 

Water-marks are the “ Ornamental figures 
in wire (or thin brass) sewn upon the wires of 
the mould, and, like those wires, they leave an 
impression by rendering the paper, where it lines 
on them, thinner and more translucent.” In 
French they are called filigra 7 ie, in German mas- 
serzeichen. In a folio the water-mark is always 
in the middle of the page ; in a qto, on the back 
of the book, still midway between the top and the 
bottom ; in an 8vo, on the very top, and frequent¬ 
ly cut off by the old-fashioned binding plough ; 
in the lanio, on the fore edge ; and in the i6mo, 
also on the fore edge. 

As foreign catalogues come occasionally into 
the hands of the bookseller, it is desirable he 
should know the French and German names of 
the most important sizes. A Folio is rendered 
in French, “folio,” “in-folio”—in German, “ in 
folio;’’ a qto, French “in quarto,” “in-4.”— 
German, “4.;” an 8vo French, “in octavo” or 
“ in-8^”—German, “Octav, or 8.;” a i2mo French, 
“in douze” or “in-12”—German “Duodez” 01 

12. and a i6mo French “in-seize” or “ in- 
16’’—German, “ Sedez,” or “ Sedez-format,” or 
“ 16.” 


There are as many suD-sizes as there are sizes 
of paper used. The accompan3dng table will 
show our readers the names and sizes in inches of 
the thirteen various printing papers in use, and 
of which, the five first are ordinarily onl)- brought 
into service for folios;

These sub-sizes are named after the size of pa¬ 
per printed on and to distinguish which such 
name is prefixed to the actual general term of 
size, and thus maiw prefixes apply to the same 
size. 

Of folios there are : Elephant, Imperial, Atlas, 
Super-royal, Ro)'al, Crown, Demy, and Medium. 

Of 4tos; Imperial, Ro3’al, Medium, Dem3-, 
and Small. 

Of 8vos : Imperial, Super-ro3’al, Ro3-al, Demy, 
Medium, Crown, Post, Foolscap. 


Of i2mos: Ro3’al, 001113-and Medium. 

Diflerences of the same character exist in the 
smaller sizes, and which can not be so easil3- dis¬ 
tinguished b3- the signatures. An imperial or 
super-ro3-al 8vo volume is frequentl3- mistaken 
for a small 4to, and a fcap. 8vo for a 121110 or 
161110, which it is often wrongly called. As to the 
4to, the following fact nia3^ be useful : A 4to is 
always broader in proportion to its length than 
an 8 VO. 

For a considerable time, and up to within the 
last thirty 3'ears, when printing papers were man¬ 
ufactured in conventional-sized moulds, ro3'al, 
deni3’ and crown were most’.3- in use, then demy 
was the standard size and the deni3- 8vo the 
orthodox library form. A wonderful alteration 
has of late 3-ears been made in the sizes of books 
partialI3- consequent on the new sizes of paper 
through the facilities offered by the abolition of 
the paper duty in England, and the introduction 
of machiner3^ for making paper. The disuse of 
moulds and the extraordinary developments 
caused b3- new inventions, through which manu¬ 
facturers can make paper in webs to an3- given 
number of inches, which can be cut again into 
every imaginable size—together with modern 
printing machines, which print much larger 
surfaces than the old hand-presses, has rendered 
the correct definitions of size now comparatively 
arbitrar3'. It having been found impossible to 
give regularl3' the correct sizes of modern books 
as in former 3-ears, as folio, qto, 8vo, i2mo, 
i6mo, etc., bibliographers have been forced to 
describe the new sizes by the names of the old 
that they are most like. 

Another difficult3- in defining the proper size 
is, that printers were occasionally necessitated 
to print onl3- half a sheet at a time, and many 
modern printing offices do the same frequentl3’— 
hence, if we term a book thus printed from the 
number of leaves from signature to signature, 
we shall be all wrong, as these signatures only 
occur at exactly half the distance proved in the 
rules above laid down. Thus an 8\o printed in 
half sheets, having only 4 leaves, should be de¬ 
nominated a 4to, but b3' the rule of breadth and 
length of the 4to and 8vo indicated^ above, one 
can not ver3^ well fall into error ; a i2mo in half 
sheets with 6 leaves should be 2l sixmo; the 
same of the smaller sizes, which being printed, 
as a rule, with 8 leaves to the signature, should 
be all described b3' the collation as 8vo instead 
of 32mo, 64mo, or 1281110 ; in all these excep¬ 
tional instances practical experience is the onl3’- 
safe guide. 

Much difficult3' has arisen from nian3- Amer¬ 
ican publishers and booksellers styling the 
sizes of books differently to the English rule, 
which, being more correct and regular, the best

American Fiibliographers, Stevens, Sabin, Philes, 
etc., always follow. The American standard libra- 
r}' size is medium 8vo, the English deni)' 8vo ; 
expert cataloguers alwa3's understand the 8vm to 
be the demy 8vo, the larger 8vos medium, ro}'al, 
super-royal, or imperial, and the smaller fcap. 
post or crown, as it chances to be. An English 
post 8vo and an American i2mo are the same 
size, )'et in description the order is reversed b}’ 
booksellers on both sides of the Atlantic. It 
should be borne in mind that the American 8vo 
is reall}- a medium 8vo, and is larger than the 
English 8vo ; i. e., dem}' 8vo. Power regrets, in 
his admirable “ Hand)' Book about Books,” that 
“ the American sv’stem does not conform to the 
English rule—for one reason at least—the Eng¬ 
lish 8vo page is in better proportion. It is short¬ 
er by two or three lines of letter-press than the 
American, and is not too long for its width.” 

The following are as near as possible the sizes, 
in inches, of books ordinarily manufactured in 
America, with their proper designations ; Royal 
4to, 11X14; Medium 4to, 9x12; Royal 8vo, 
7x11 ; Medium 8vo, 6x9^ ; Medium 121110, 
SysxiVi-, Medi uni i8mo, 4x63^; Medium 
241110, 31-^ X 5/4 ; and Medium 32010, 3x5. 

Although the huge folios and 4tos of the six¬ 
teenth and seventeenth centuries, and of which a 
popular poet said, ladies “read the bgoks the}’- 
could not lift,” are happily superseded by the 
handy 8vo or 121110, it has not lightened the task 
of the bibliographer, who often has the utmost 


difficulty in determining what, to many, is the 
unimportant matter of the size of a book. But 
bibliophiles, who are continually having valuable 
works in their hands, know the necessity of dis¬ 
tinguishing large-paper copies from small, how 
often editions are created which never had an 
existence, etc. 

In the discussion of sizes, especially of antique 
works, it is impossible to state positively whether 
I a volume, for instance, .is an 8vo or i6mo ; for, 
j through the lack of type, the printing of half or 
quarter sheets, and other reasons, regularity is not 
j always carried out. 

In fact, so much perplexity has been caused, 
that^t has been deemed necessary, particularly in 
early Shakespeares and other valuable books, to 
give the length and breadth in inches ; many old 
bibliophiles and book auctioneers made this the 
rule, and thus could easily prove whether a copy 
was fine and tall, or the contrary. Notwithstand¬ 
ing it has been observed that, “ even this plan is 
liable to deceive, for the bookbinder will some¬ 
times cut the book down to a point which is 
below the standard of that particular size.” 

Measurement in inches is undoubtedly the 
j best method of describing the size of a book, and 
j there are librarians who are having the collections 
I under their charge thus catalogued, and among 
other instances, the excellent catalogue of the 
library of Bowdoin College, Maine, may be men¬ 
tioned in which this method is carried out. 


TRADE RECIPES. 


Mounting Photographs.—The most approved 
substance for mounting photographs, and that of 
the most equal consistence, is the white of an 
egg. Before mounting, dip the photograph in a 
basin of perfectly clean water, then lay it between 
a towel or piece of linen, which -will absorb the 
superfluous moisture; place it face downward 
on a perfectly level and clean surface and work 
the white of egg with a small sponge on a piece 
of stick, or a brush, if the hairs are secured. 

Fly Paper.— Dissolve, in one gallon of wajm 
water, one ounce of arsenic and half a pound of 
lump-sugar, in which steep sheets of white filter¬ 
ing paper for a few moments, until they are thor¬ 
oughly saturated, during which time the solution 
should be kept agitated. Then hang the sheets 
on lines, and when dry, cut up into pieces of 
convenient size for sale. When required for use, 
place them in shallow plates or saucers, and 
moisten by pouring on them just as much water 
as they will absorb. They will be found to at¬ 
tract and instantaneously kill flies, wasps, gnats, 
mosquitoes, and similar insects. 


I Cleaning Old Prints.—These may be cleaned 
by sponging them on botli sides with clean water 
and then saturating them with the following mix¬ 
ture : One quarter pound chloride of lime, two 
ounces oxalic acid, and one quart of water. Well 
sponge down with clean water, and a clean pic¬ 
ture will be the result. On no account use the 
above preparation on water-colors or prints col¬ 
ored by hand. 

Transfer Varnish.—Take equal quantities of 
fir balsam and spirits tuipentine. Mix, shake 
well, and set in a warm place until clear. Used 
in decalcomanie, and for maps, prints, drawings, 
and other articles of paper; and also to prepare 
tracing papers, and to transfer engravings. 

To Kemove Rust from Steel, immerse the arti¬ 
cle to be cleaned (for a few minutes, until all 
dirt and rust is taken off) in a strong solution of 
cyanide of potassium, say about half ounce in a 
wine-glassful of water ; take out and clean with a 
tooth-brush, with a paste composed of cyanide of 
potassium, castile-soap, whiting and water.

The Stationers' Hand-Book. 


Books Preserved. —The bindings may be pre¬ 
served from mildew by brushing them over with 
spirits of wine. A few drops of any perfumed 
oil will secure libraries from the consuming effects 
of mold and damp. Russia leather, which is 
perfumed with the tar of the birch tree, never 
molds or sustains injury from damp. The Ro¬ 
mans used oil of cedar to preserve valuable man¬ 
uscripts. Russia leather covered books, placed 
in a stationer’s window, will destro}" flies and oth¬ 
er insects. 

Fumigating or Pastille Paper. —Prepare a mix¬ 
ture of gum benzoin in powder four parts, balsam 
of tolu or powdered sandal-wood one part, pow¬ 
dered charcoal twelve parts, gum tragacanth or 
laudanum a quarter part, powdered nitre one 
part. Wet these with a solution of weak gum 
water, and steep sheets of white printing paper 
in the mixture and hang them up to dry. When 
drv, they are ready for use by burning on a plate or 
saucer. For scenting purposes the quantities of 
the perfuming agents may be increased. 

An Ink composed of copper one part, dissolved 
in ten parts nitric acid, ten parts water being 
afterward added, is.useful for marking on tin or 
zinc plant labels. 

To Erase Ink marks from paper, and leave 
the surface in a smooth state, wash by means of 
camel’s-hair pencils, dipped alternatel}" in solu¬ 
tions of cyanide of potassium and oxalic acid. 

Varnish for Maps, Drawings, etc. —Boil parch¬ 
ment cuttings in water, in a glazed earthen ves¬ 
sel, till they produce a very clear size ; strain it, 
and keep it till wanted ; then give the work two 
coats of the size, passing the brush quickly over 
the work, so as not to disturb the colors. 

To Fix Labels on Tin, use French polish or a 
solution of shellac in naphtha or alcohol. 

% 

To Make Rice Glue. —This useful cement is 
made by mixing rice flour thoroughly with cold 
water, and then gently boiling it. It is beauti¬ 
fully white and transparent. It is in every re¬ 
spect preferable to common paste made with 
wheat flour, for almost every purpose. It an¬ 
swers well, in particular, for pasting into books 
the copies of writings taken off by copying 
machines on thin copying paper. With this 
composition, made with a comparatively small 
quantity of water, that it may have a consistency 
similar to plastic clay, models, busts, statues, 
bass-reliefs, and the like, ma)' be formed. When 
dry, the articles made of it are susceptible of a 
high polish ; they are also very durable. 

Liquid Glue. —Take some good strong glue and 
mix it with full proof whisk}’. Let it digest for 
three or four days, and it will be ready for use. 


To Make a Good Mucilage. —The best quality 
of mucilage is made by dissolving clear glue in 
equal volumes of water and strong vinegar, and 
adding one fourth of an equal volume of alcohol, 
and a small quantity of a solution of alum in 
water. The action of the vinegar is due to the 
acetic acid which it contains. This prevents the 
composition from gelatinizing by cooling ; but 
the same result may be accomplished by adding 
a small quantity of nitric acid. 

Common Prepared Glue. —Dissolve two pounds 
good common glue in three pints of warm water, 
and add one quart of strong vinegar. Ready to 
use after twenty-four hours. 

A thick solution of marine glue in wood 
naphtha is a good cement for fixing glass letters. 
The glass must be chemically clean and must be 
previously scrubbed with soda, then with whit¬ 
ing and water, followed by thorough rubbing. 

Gum for Backing Labels. —Take any quantity 
of clear pure dextrine and mix it with boiling 
water until it assumes the consistency of or¬ 
dinary mucilage. Apply thinly with a full- 
bodied, evenly made, and wide camel’s-hair 
brush. The paper should not be too thin or un¬ 
sized. The preparation will dry quickly, and 
adhere when slightly wet. 

Note.—^N o more of the dextrine should be mixed at one 
time than can be used at once, as it can not be remelted 
easily. 

How to Clean Chromos. —When you clean them 
use a soft feather brush, or wipe them with soft 
chamois skin (a drop of oil may restore clearness), 
or with a fine linen rag very slightly dampened. 
Alwa3’s tenderly ! 

Next, whenever the original varnish coating is 
dulled, bruised, or rubbed, revarnish it with thin 
mastic varnish. 

Chromos, like oil paintings, should not be 
hung in a dark room, but in one with diffused 
light ; and never exposed to the direct rays of 
the sun. 

Paste that will Keep.— Dissolve one ounce of 
alum in one quart of boiling water ; when cold 
add as much water as will give it the consis¬ 
tency of cream ; then sprinkle into it one tea¬ 
spoonful of powdered resin, and two or three 
cloves ground, and^boil a few minutes. 

Adhesive Labels. —Dissolve one and one seventh 
ounces common glue, which has lain a day in 
cold water, with some candy sugar and three 
quarters of an ounce gum arabic, six ounces 
hot water, stirring constantly until the whole 
is homogeneous. If this paste is applied to labels 
with a brush and allowed to dry, they will then 
be ready for use on merely moistening with the 
tongue.

PROOF-READING. 


By Jonathan S. Green. 


The Specimen Proof-Sheet, and accompanying 
Explanations, on the following pages, embodying 
all that is of practical importance, render unne¬ 
cessary any extended remarks on this subject. 
Many even of the marks there found will rarely 
need to be made by the author of any given work ; 
for naturally the author will receive a revised 
proof-sheet, from which, a careful proof-reader in 
the printing-office having previousl}^ gone over 
the ground, the grosser errors have already been 
weeded out. As, however, from various causes, 
the author may sometimes receive what is techni¬ 
cally termed “the First Proof,” it has been deemed 
advisable to preserit a full scheme. Such marks 
as the aiuhor will most frequentl)' be called on 
to make, in reading the revised proof, we have in¬ 
dicated b}’ a star (*). Where more than one cor¬ 
rection is to be made in a line, make the marks 
directly opposite the line, on the margin, and in 
order and succession. Do not make the correc¬ 
tion for the first error in the place where the 
correction for the second error should be indi¬ 
cated. Confusion and delay sometimes arise 
from the neglect to observe this natural order. 
It may serve, also, to soften somewhat the feelings 
of an author wounded by a vexatious error, tc 
see through what a jungle the long-suffering proof¬ 
reader has painfully to pick his way before reach¬ 
ing the land of his hopes, a clean proof-sheet. For 
between the thought of the author, spread out 
on his manuscript, and the eye of the reader of 
the fair printed page, there often intervenes a 
very Slough of Despond. 

A proof surcharged with blunders printers ex¬ 
pressively name “a Foul Proof” On the part of 
the compositor, this is caused b)' undue eagerness, 
constitutional slouchiness, or lack of intelligence ; 
and sometimes the author kindly lends his aid 
by scorning to condescend to the humbler virtues 
of legibility, attention to the rules of grammar, 
and—mustwe'say it?—of simple spelling. When 
these combine, imagine the result ! Happy that 
proof-reader who finds the author for whom he 
toils setting a good example, followed religiously 
by painstaking, intelligent compositors. The 
product he delightedly christens “a Good Proof.” 

The first thing an author, in his relations with 
the printer, should hold in mind is perfect copy. If 
that be had, the rest is comparatively easy. Let 
the handwriting be plain. One page only of each 
leaf should be written on. Avoid interlineations, 
cross-lines, and “riders.” Number the pages of 
the manuscript clearly and boldly. If the spell¬ 


ing, capitalization, and punctuation are to be ob¬ 
served, say so. This will prevent misunderstand¬ 
ing and offense. If an author have no decided 
preference on these points, let him adopt the style 
of the proof-reader employed by the establishment 
to which he confides his work. 

When a proof-sheet is received, let it, as speed¬ 
ily as possible, be read and returned. Be sure 
to indicate your wishes with the utmost clearness 
and exactness. If the reader has proposed to 
you a “ quer^y dispose of it; draw your pen* 
through it, if no change be needed. On the part 
of the printer, it is a sign of interest in your 
work ; and if courteously regarded, will tend to 
increased vigilance. 

If your matter require headings and sub-head¬ 
ings, settle on the style of type to be used before 
a line of the work is set. Seek here clearness 
and simplicit)’. So with titles, half-titles, and 
display-lines. A study of good French and 
English models shows that the most beautiful 
effects are produced by plain, clear-cut faces, 
carefull)^ selected with reference to gradation 
in size, and nicely proportioned as to various 
length of line and as to management of the 
spaces between the lines. 

In regard to Headings, there is one custom 
adopted by many skilled authors that is so ex¬ 
cellent as to deserve special mention in the in¬ 
terest of both author and reader. This is ; 
wherever practicable, to let the subject-matter of 
the page appear in the running head over the 
page. Another method, but one not so good, is 
to give the chapter-title over the even or left- 
hand page ; and over the odd or right-hand 
page, the contents of that page. By either 
method, the book is opened up to the reader, and 
his curiosit}' spurred on from title-page to colo¬ 
phon. 

Unfortunatel}', even in this day of enlightened 
book-making, it is not impertinent to insist on a 
good Index. It would not be pleasant to enu¬ 
merate the books which, both here and in Eng¬ 
land, come forth destitute of this important 
organ. No author who truly values his own 
reputation and the comfort and instruction of 
his reader can afford to deprive his book of this 
its right lung. And it is the duty of everj' man 
belonging to the republic of letters to dwell upon 
this necessity until it shall be universally accept¬ 
ed that a book is no more complete without a 
full Index than it would be without a title-page.

Stationers’ Order-List 


COMPILED BY ALBERT B. YOHN. 


In presenting the subjoined Reference Price- 
List to the Stationery Trade, vve deem it neces- 
sart- to offer some few remarks in explanation. 

We would have two points clearl}' understood. 
In the first place, we have aimed to make the list 
rather select than complete. It does not pretend 
to be a reference list for the expert, but a guide 
to the beginner or smaller dealer. Thus, only 
such lines are included as are looked upon as 
staple, or in other words, that have been found 
salable. Then, in regard to the prices, the list 
should not be judged in the light of the market 
quotations of a daily or weekly commercial paper. 
The price of all goods, and stationer}' goods in 
particular, depends so much upon the quantity 
purchased, and special considerations and cir¬ 
cumstances, and are therefore so constantly sub¬ 
ject to ffuctuation and changes, that it is almost 


an impossibility to give prices that will be accept¬ 
able to the entire trade. 

The object of the list being simply to enable 
dealers who wish to renew or enlarge their stock, 
to make an approximate estimate of an invoice, 
we have, as a rule, adhered to the printed price¬ 
lists of the manufacturers; where such could not 
be obtained, the prices are approximate net prices 
of to-day. All goods, the prices of which have 
been thus approximated, are marked with an 
asterisk. 

Special discounts being allowed in most in¬ 
stances on large purchases, the word “discount” 
has been inserted <vith a blank space, for special 
terms. The alternate pages have also been left 
blank for memoranda of stock, additional goods, 
price changes, discounts, etc.

envelopes in a box, or two quires of paper and 
forty-eight envelopes in a box. It is impossible

The Glote Pla3miff Card. 

-- 


O UR Circular Playing Cards possess many advantages over the cards in common use, 
and are in no respect interior. Use them enough to become familiar with them, and you 
will never use any other. It will require but little time to do this, and you will be a hundred 
fold repaid by greater ease, rapidity, and certainty in playing.

Great Durability; Wear Twice as Long as the Old Style. The 

old cards soon turn up at the corners, split, wear off, and become ragged and uneven, and in 
consequence handle badly, and are thrown aside and replaced by new ones; but circular cards 
wear equally on the edges, and last twice as long as the common cards. 

More Ease in Shuffling, Dealing, and Playing. The old cards get 

crossed on the table, and this causes delay in arranging them relatively to their length and 
breadth, which retards the game; but circular cards are always right relatively to each other, 
and are ready for use as soon as in the hand. No vexatious delays in arranging them ready to 
shuffle or play. Moreover, they shuffle better than the old cards; but this cannot be demon¬ 
strated on paper; use them and see. Further, the circular cards lie more easily and naturally 
in the hollow of the hand. 

Rapid Playing without Mistakes. We use a characteristic color to each suit. 
This is an important advantage; it enables a player to assort his cards, and select, at a glance, 
the cards of the same suit by tbe color alone. No need of looking at the shape of the emblem, 
or spot, so called, for the color indicates the suit, and the numeral, or figure, the size. This 
enables persons to play with rapidity and ease, and few mistakes. In fact, after a little practice, 
one will pla}' by color and figure, instead of by shape and number of spots, as at present. 

Using Numerals, or Figures, in Four Colors, on the Edges, to 

show the Size and Suit. These figures are placed at convenient distances around 
the edge, and are printed in the same color as the spots. The color of the figure shows the suit, 
and the figure itself shows the size. This enables you to hold a very large hand in a compact 
shape, to see your whole hand at once, and recognize every card without moving, it only being 
necessary to let one card overlap another enough to display the figure on the margin, and you 
can play with perfect ease, with rapidity, and without danger of any one seeing your hand. 
Prying eyes, whether innocent or dishonest, will be baffled.

When these Cards are held in the hand they may be made to overlap and cover each other 
to such an extent as to expose only the MINIATURE CARD, which, while visible to the 
holder, can not be distinguished by his opponent or any one not holding the Cards. When, 
however, a Card is thrown upon the table, all the players may detect the character as usual, by the 
larger or ordinary figure on the face. A trial will render any further recommendation un¬ 
necessary.

Were sold in 1875—being a gain of more than 
I 1,000,000 over the year previous ; this, with the 
! marked increase in the sales of the other num¬ 
bers, shows that the tiiiperior qualities of 
these Pens are being more and more appreciat¬ 
ed and that they are destined to take their 
place as the most popular Steel Pens in 
the market. They are made of the best steel, 
by the most skillful workmen in Eu> 
rope, and are a nearer approximation to the 
real ^W'ail t^uill action than any thing of the 
kind hitherto invented. 

The Spencerian Steel Pens are uiiiver- 
sally used in the C'ommereial Col- 
leg^es throughout the U. S., more largely than 
any others by the United States Govern¬ 
ment, and quite generally in the Banks, 
Coiinting^-Honses and Sehools of the 
country ; and are for sale by the trade 
I i^enerally. 

We claim for the Spencerian, superiority 

1 over all other pens in durability, 

I elasticity, flexibility, and in evenness 
{ of point. 

! *^*The Spencerian Pens are comprised 
' ill 1*> ntllllliers^ varying in flexi¬ 
bility and fineness of point, and, for the 
convenience of those who may wish to try 
them, we will send a CSircl cotitainmg 
a sample of* each number by 
mail, securely inclosed, on receipt of 
•25 eeiifs.

the fabric. By merely holding 



(Patented Sept. 28, 1875.) 

Use these recently improved “Hooks.” They surpass all 
others in simplicity of attachment and in their holding qualities, 
having no projecting or exposed points to lacerate the fingers 
or damage fabrics, to which they are applied. 

They are made from the best Spring Wire, and can be fur¬ 
nished plated or coppered at same price. 

No opening of the Hook is required to apply the same to 
it, as shown in the drawing, and inserting the article between 

the point A. and loop Ti and sliding 
a little below the point, a slight pull 
on the hook will properly adjust the 
same.

SOMETHING NEW IN LETTER COPYING! 

Compound Lever Copying Press, 


Patented by HOFFMAN & HOYT, October 5tli, 1875. 



We claim this to be a superior Press to any 
in the market, for the/ollowmg reasons : 

First. —As to its strength—having the dou¬ 
ble arch and steel castings in its working parts. 

Second. —That the pressure is brought to 
bear in less than one half the time than with 
the screw-press, and in two points on the plate. 

Third. —The vertical adjustment will admit 
any thickness of book, and the pressure, by this 
adjustment, can be regulated to any amount 
required. 

SIZES. 


g inches x ii inches. 
X 12 


X 14 
X 16 
X 18 
X 22 
X 27 


For copying large sheets, manifests, etc., for 
Express and Railroad Offices, it is the best 
press, as it will copy at the edges as perfectly 
as at the centre. 

We would call attention to a particular fea¬ 
ture in this Press. It is that the pressing-p ate 
receives the pressure in two points, and by so 
doing a large sheet can be copied uniformly on 
every part of the page. The pressing-plate 
also easily adjusts itself to any irregularities in 
he shape of the book. 

Stationers can address Messrs. Hoffman & Hoyt, the inventors and owners of this Patent Copying Press, for any infor¬ 
mation regarding it required. 

The above parties are ready to give prices and fill orders for small and large quantities, and issue license to manufacture.’

The Publishers’ Weekly, 

THE RECOGNIZED ORGAN OF THE 


AMERICAN BOOK AND STATIONERY TRADE, 

is the most effective medium for advertising the above-mentioned lines. The retail trade of the 
above lines of goods has, during the latter years, assumed such large proportions in the hands of 
the book trade, that manufacturers and wholesale dealers who will address themselves directly to 
booksellers and stationers, will find among them the largest buyers. 

The Publishers’ Weekly has become the inseparable companion of every live bookseller 
and stationer ; and, being dail)' consulted, manufacturers of new articles in Stationery, Fancy Goods, 
etc., advertising in its columns, can not fail in securing sure and profitable returns. 

Booksellers and Stationers have, in their attractive stores, a better opportunity than any other 
class of dealers, to present and introduce innumerable articles suitable to the manifold requirements 
and tastes of a cultivated class, and are the most active and successful agents, especially for such 
' goods as can be displa3^ed or shown to advantage on the counter and in the window. 

The Stationery Department of the Publishers’ Weekly, while giving general information 
to the trade, is largely devoted to descriptive notices of New Goods, and all manufacturers, whether 
advertising or not, are earnestl}'- requested to send samples of their novelties or full descriptive ac¬ 
counts (if possible, accompanied by illustrative cut), for editorial notice. We should also be glad 
to receive communications of interest to the general trade. 


TERMS OF ADVERTISING: 


One page (same size as this circular). .. .$20 00 

Half page. 12 00 

Quarter page. 7 00 


Eighth page.$4 00 

Sixteenth page. 2 50 

Short advertisements, per line. 25 


Front, back, and second pages, and pages facing editorial matter, $25. 


Rates for three, six, and twelve months’ contracts, which entitles advertisers to send new copy 
for every issue, if desired, given on application. 

We would suggest to advertisers, for their own interest, whenever practicable, to illustrate their adver¬ 
tisements with an appropriate cut. 

Manufacturers and Importers who desire the Publishers’ Weekly for examination, can have it sent 
one month free by sending their address to the office.

RESOLVED. That this Convention recognize the Publishers’ Weekly as the established organ of 
the entire trade, and recommend it to publishers as the medium through which they should make their 
"first announcement" of books they propose to publish, and the full title of all books immediately on pub¬ 
lication .— American Book Trade Association. 

" If Publishers would devote half the amount they expend in circulars, and the postage on them, 
which is a large item, to sustain a weekly Trade fournal and extend its circulation, they zvould double 
the benefit received from the expenditure "— Robert Clarke, Cincinnati, Ohio.

OPIMOXS OF THE TRADE. 


I fully appreciate the value of your excellent Weekly as 
well as your own personal services and sacrifices in the inter¬ 
est of the trade. We have all much to thank you for. You 
richly merit the united and constant support of the trade in 
every section of the country.— Robert Clarke. 

We desire to express heartily our appreciation of the work 
you are doing in securing an exact record of American publi¬ 
cations, and trust that you will receive from the various pub¬ 
lishers the information you make it so easy for them to give.— 
Hurd & Houghto.n. 

You have laid the jobbers and retailers of the country under 
great obligations by your successful efforts to provide a trade 
periodical so fully meeting their wants. . . . We instruct 

our travelers to make it a point to urge every dealer who does 
not lake the Weekly to subscribe at once, and “all the time.” 
—George E. Stevens & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. 

We wish to compliment you on the completeness of your 
paper. It is becoming more and more valuable, and we are 
pleased to find that the booksellers of the smaller cities are be¬ 
ing heard from.— Coring, Short & Harmon, Portland, Me. 

It is merely because the Weekly is so good, so much bet¬ 
ter than any thing we have had before, that we have wanted 
three copies, and have been vexed when we received only one 
or two.— Sumner VV’hitney & Co., San Francisco, Cal. 

Your paper is now a real benefit to the public and the book 
trade.—S. C Griggs & Co., Publishers, Chicago. 

We wish to express our obligations to you for the efforts you 
make to promote the interests of the book trade.— John H. 
Thom.as & Co., Dayton, Ohio. 

1 am more than ever convinced, that if the whole trade would 
unite m your support, we would find any other medium of in¬ 
formation superfluous. ... I think it may interest you 
to learn that many retail dealers make up their orders for new 
books almost entirely from the Weekly. — William G. Boyd, 
Selma, Ala. 

It is the duty of every one in the trade to “stay your hands,” 
or you are doing an indispensable work for us all; even the 
smallest dealer can not do without the Weekly. —N. S. 
Harding & Co., Nebraska City, Neb. 

Your Weekly Is the best thing of the kind that I have ever 
seen, and I could not get along without it. It is an indispen¬ 
sable article to any bookseller who desires to keep posted, and 
I would not be without it for five times the subscription price. 
—J. D. Stanton, of Stanton Bros., Wheeling, W. Va. 

We derive more benefit from the Weekly than from all the 
publishers’ circulars received.— Crumrine & Nichol, Steu¬ 
benville, O. 

The Weekly is the most useful of any of the Literary Bul¬ 
letins that I have ever had, and I think I have tried them all. 
— Chas. E. H.AMMETT, Jr , Newport, R. I. 

It is of great value and assistance to us.— Judd & White, 
New-Haven, Conn. 


The Weekly is invaluable—the ipse dixit of the trade.— 
F. G. Pr.att, with Lee & Shepard, Boston. 

We find your Weekly our best source of information re¬ 
garding new books, and have it in constant use. — Brown & 
Faunce, Toledo, O. 

I consider the Publishers’ Weekly the best of any trade 
papers that are published.—E. B. Myers, Chicago. 

We find it the best paper to keep us posted.—L. M. Cobb 
& Co., Chicago. 

We find that we look for the Weekly as a friend indeed 
every week, and must have it.— Robt. A. Heim & Co., 
Atchison, Kan. 

We follow up the Weekly with increasing interest, and can 
not see how any bookseller can get along without it— live ones 
can't. —B. Earl & Son, Fall River, Mass. 

We a.e highly delighted with the Weekly, and would not 
be without it for double the price.—J. L. Sibole, with J. B. 
Lippmcott & Co. 

It was the best investment I made last year I recommend 
it to all Western dealers I see.— Newell Sanders, Bloom¬ 
ington, Ind. 

Would not be without it for double its cost.— L.ancefield 
Bros., Hamilton, Canada. 

Would not do without it for $30 per year: make more than 
that amount on novelties I see advertised in its columns.—A 
Setliff, Nashville, Tenn. 

The Weekly has become a necessity with me.— Geo. W. 
Green, Jr., Newburgh, N. Y. 

We could not keep a book-house without it— Roberts & 
Hillhouse, Kalamazoo, Mich. 

Can not keep a bookstore without it.—J. J. Wood, Hud¬ 
son, Mich. N A. Hanna, Cadiz, O. 

Can not keep house without it. —H. H. Otis, Buffalo, N. 
Y. S. C. Fuller, Traverse City, hlich. 

Do not want to miss a single number.—W. W. Watkins, 
Cazenovia, N. Y. E. H. Cushi.ng, Houston, Texas. 

Can not afford to lose a single number.— H. E. Pr.att, 
Binghamton, N. Y. 

Can’t get along without the Weekly—West, Johnston & 
Co., Richmond, Va. Hiram Yeo & Co., Chillicothe, O. 

Can not afford to do without the Weekly.—Burke &

ACME .LETTER FILE MANUFACTURING CO. 


The Acme Letter File and Binder. 

The ACME LETTEK AND KEPOET FILE AND BINDEK has already been 
adopted by many of oiir leading railroad, insurance, express and manufacturing com¬ 
panies, by bankers, merchants and attorneys, and by a large number of city and State 
oflSces, to any of whom we can refer as to its merits. It is an improvement over the 
French or so-called Gaffney File, in the following important particulars: the binding is 
all done inside the covers, there being no unsightly bars on the outside of the book to 
scratch tables and desks ; no holes are made in the cloth or leather backs, and the bind¬ 
ing can be completed at any date desired, whether the book is full or not; the metal 
parts of the File are entirely of brass, and very simple in construction, substantially 
made, and uniform in size and appearance with those Files, oiu* Binding Covers fitting 
the Gaffney, and Yankee File, and nice versa, so that any one using those need not 
discard them if desirous of adopting the Acme. For particular description, send for 
our circulars.

The ACME PAPER FASTENER is the best and most convenient Fastener in use for 
all legal and other papers that are to be attached to each others Saves time and labor, 
making their own hole through the paper, and when the points have beemfirmly united 
I they can not be separated without disfiguring the paper, thus preventing the removal 
of’ some or the insertion of other leaves after, the completion of papers. They have 
been adopted for use in many of the Government Departments, and. offices, and by pri¬ 
vate corporations. 

Put up in boxes of one hundred each.

The Acme Parchment Paper. 

We would call special attention to the ACME PARCHMENT PAPER, which we 
also manufacture and have become sole proprietors of. It is an article invaluable for all 
legal and other documents which are frequently handled, as it will not break or crack in 
the folds nor wear out, and is not injured by water, and yet can.be sold at a price not 
much exceeding that of good writing papers. We furnish it, ruled or flat, in all the 
regular sizes. For specimen of color and quality, see the paper on which this Cata¬ 
logue is printed. Its color is very pleasing to the eye, a'nd particularly so when used 
by artificial light, there being no glare nor refiection from it.

The Acme Letter File Manueacturing Co. : 

Oentlemen: For about six weeks we have used the Acme Parchment Paper in our 
office, and it has given entire satisfaction. For papers that are likely to be handled 
often we believe it to be unequalled by any thing in use.

ACME LETTER FILE MANUFACTURING CO. 


The Acme Copying Paper. 

The ACME COPYING PAPEK is the best yet offered to the public, and is pro¬ 
nounced superior to the finest foreign papers of the same class. It is of a light buff 
or cream color. 

No. 1 is heavy, very strong, and will not shrink or wrinkle in copying, and can be 
written on with pen and ink. We furnish it largely, in cap size, for copying Legal 
Papers. Put up in reams of five hundred single sheets. 

No. 2 is light, and suitable where a number of copies are to be taken at one im¬ 
pression, giving six perfect copies when desired, and yet is very strong and tough, and 
does not shrink in copying. We make up both in several styles, most substantially 
bound, as follows, numbers 100, 101, &e., are in the heavy paper, and 200, 201, &c., 
in the light.

Parlor or Table Croquet, 

By the introduction of this New Game the expense 
of Croquet Boards is saved. 

It consists of Four Clamps, to be secured at each 
corner of the table, a substantial Webbing Belt is 
buckled on. This forms the fender, and acts as an 
elastic cushion —Balls rebounding as well as from 
a rubber cushion. 

The Wickets are weighted so as to stand lirmly, and 
at the same time not interfere with the rolling of the 
Balls. The Stakes are also weighted.

THK DI^RY. 


The decided success this Diary has met with, since it was first introduced -to the 
trade, is a sufficient proof of its advantages over the ordinary kind. It combines all the 
requisites of the old style, and having a renewable Calendar, it secures the trade against 
loss, by an overstock which at the end of season is worthless.

and gives a daily statement of the business. 

Salks Book : Saving the copy of the bills to a Journal, from which you post direct 
to the Ledger ; bills paid in cash not to be posted ; it also shows by proof, that the bills 
for which cash is received and the bills posted to the Ledger accounts equal the whole 
merchandise sold. 

Sales Book : From which you post direct, only such entries as you wish to enter 
into Ledger accounts; the time bills are shown and collected in Tickler form from the 
Sales book, the only entry being to Debit cash and credit merchandise,the cash bills the 
same. With this Sales Book, and a Vowel Index specially made to suit the Sales Book, 
the labor of a Ledger in almost entirely saved, where the house sells and collects only time 
hills. Index, 1 letter to a page, $2; Two pages to a letter, $3. 

Daily Balance Li:i)OEr; This shows the balance of each account at all times, 
saving the labor of ruling when balances are made, and a 6 quire Ledger is equal to a 10

route of each salesmai}. •

to another without closing the Index. Indexes for Sales Books: With this the entry 
clerk, at the time the bill of goods is entered, enters opposite each name the page of the 
sales book on which the bill of goods is entered, this enables the bills all to be posted with¬ 
out search, saving much time in posting—if with this is used a sales book in Tickler form, 
many Ledger accounts are entirely saved.

ir. C- M. Baker: 

Dear Sir— Since adopting your system of Book 
keeping, May 1, of this year, we liave found it to 
give us entire satisfaction, being simple and com¬ 
prehensive—two very important items to the bus¬ 
iness man. 

Our books are kept, and tlie dally balance giv¬ 
en, with one-third tlie labor of tlie old Double 
Entry system, giving us fully two.tliirds of tlie 
time of a valuable man to devote to otlier parts 
of our business. 

We cheerfully recommend your system to any 
mercliant or business man who wishes to arrive 
at results with accuracy and great saving in time 
and labor. 

:_You will please deliver us one set of your books 
to be used at our Chicago Branch House.

find that it meets all requirements in regard to 
accuracy and saving labor.

We are using your book called “Synoptic’’ in 
keeping the accounts of the Oliio Furniture Com- i

saves a Cash Book and Journal, and the labor 
keeping! them; saves posting in part, and gives 
us time to use profitably in other branches of our 
business. OHIO FURNITURE CO ,

IP. a M. Baker : \ 

Dear Sir— Some three months ago, after ,a i 
careful investigation, I adopted theSynoptlc, out 
of your system of Book-keeping, both for Manu- I 
facturing and Retail Merchandising, and under 
no circumstances whatever, would I be without j 
it. And Why? Because it is so complete and 
takes but one-half the time the old system takes; 
and time is money. 

Yours, Respectfully, C. E. BATTERSON, ; 

Of J. H. Parsons, ife Co. j

Columbus, O., November 1.5,1873. j 
IP. C. M. Baker, Esq : 

Having been employed in keeping books, in the 
old form of Double Entry Books, for some twenty | 
years, I was in May, 187‘2, while keeping books j 
for B. E. & Co., persuaded much against my own 
feelings, to try your new form for general books. ! 
Having given it a thorough trial for one year, I i 
am now satisfied that for general business, it is I 
far superior to the old method, saving time to the 
book-keeper, and enabling him always to have 
his work in a condensed form, and close up every 
day with a full balance sheet ready for inspec¬ 
tion. The advantages of this method cannot be 
realized until used, and no book-keeper, after us¬ 
ing it, will ever return to the old form. 

Respectfully, W. O. Tremain, Book-keeper. 


Columbus, O., November 12,1873. 

W CM Baker, Esq: 

Dear Sir—I nave been using for .several

them far superior to any other that has come un¬ 
der my observation. Respectfully Yours,

examined the books are using them.

Baker’s General Index for the use of County Recorders, Clerks of 
Courts, Probate Judges and Abstracters of Titles. 


We beg leave to cal! your attention to the above Index. It is far superior to any here¬ 
tofore in use for the aliove named officers and purpose. We are sole proprietor of the 
same, and charge only the cost of 7nanufacturing the books, which is equal in amount to 
any other book of like material and workmanship. 

This Index arranges tlie surnames of ])ersons, and divides each letter according to 
vowels, thus; In the list of names, commencing with the letter B., the names come first. 
Tiiat A is the first vowel following the letter B, viz.; The Barkers, Barnums, Bakers, 
Bancrofts, &c., &c. In the next division of the letter B, the vowel E will be the first to 
follow B, thus : Bennett, Bentz, Benton, etc., etc. The nextdivision of the letter B, the 
vowel I will be the first after B, thus: Binum, Bright, Brison, etc., etc., and so on 
through the six vowels for B.- All the letters contain these six principal divisions, and 
the same plan can be carried as high as 15(5 divisions. The division of each letter agree¬ 
ing to the six vowels,is found all that is generally necessary to facilitate a search. By the 
above method, all persons of the same family come together, and avoids the very serious 
objection of indexing according to the given name. (To index according to given name, 
Adam Morton is found in the first letter of the M’s, while William Morton is found in the 
last of the letter M’s, 24 divisions intervening. In the last named case, if you do not 
know the given name, you are at an entire loss. If a person has two given names, and 
only one appears, you are again in difficulty.) Many other serious objections can be giv¬ 
en to the method of indexing according to the given names, one more of which is the 
property may be in the name of a married woman, and a search through the 26 divis¬ 
ions of the letter commencing her surname is recjuired, etc., etc. 

The volume of Indexes are ari’anged so that in front is a reference to where each 
division of each letter commences. The pages in each volume are ruled for each office, so 
as to give a full, brief history. In the Recorder’s Index is made such references gs to 
make the index a complete abstract of all whole tracts of land, and where a division of 
the whole tract is made, a reference is made to show where you will find the plat of the 
subdivisions. 

The pages in each volume of the Probate Judge and Clerk’s Index, give a full history 
of each step in the case, and where all records or papers may be found. 

We will send sample pages of each Index upon application, to parties desiring such 
indexes for their own use.

W. C. M. BAKER, Esq., Columbus, O., Akron, O., April 8, 1875. i 

Sir :—We have been using your Auditor’s ami Treasurer’s Books for the past 3 years, 
and find that the saving is so great that their cost is comparatively small, and is saved 
two or three times over, annually in labor. 

We have just examined your books of 1875, and find that they are much simpler than 
the old ones, the statement of the condition of the funds is made in an entirely different 
manner, is much more simiile, and is made with much less labor than the old one. We 
consider your book for 1875 far superior to any book we heretofore have seen published, 
for keeping Auditor’s and Treasurer’s accounts. Very Respectfully Yours,

Sir ;—After giving your book of 1875 a thorough examination, 1 take great pleasure 
in giving it my hearty endorsement. Having used your former system for the past two 
years, I thought it could not be excelled, but I must say that the book for 1875 is lar su¬ 
perior to the old one. I con.sider it a complete system of accounts. 

Yours Truly,

W. C. M. BAKER, Columbus, O. March 9th, 1875. / 

Sir ;—We have been using your account books for Auditors’ and Treasurers’ Offices, 
since March 1st, 1870,—five years. We were well iilea.sed with them ; we have just seen 
your forms of 1875, for same purposes, and find them far superior to former ones. The 
daily balance and statement of funds are made more readily, saving much time over the 
old ones. The books are much more simple, consequently more readily understood. 

Yon will please make and deliver at your earliest convenience, one five year book for 
the Auditor’s Office, and one five year book for the Treasurer’s Office oc Marion (,'ounty, 
Ohio, of your form of 1875. S. E. HAIN, Auditor of Marion County, Ohio.

W. C. M. BAKER, ESQ., Colmbus, O. 

S^r :—After giving your book of 1875 a thorough examination, I take great jjleasure 
in giving you my hearty endorsement. Having used your former system while Treasur¬ 
er of this County, (Morrow,) I thought it couldn’t be beaten, butl must confess that 
the 1875 book is far superior to the old one, and it has now reached a state of perfection 
that insures its speedy introduction into general use. Its best recommendation is simply 
to say that it is a COMPLETE SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTS. Yours Trulv, 

CHAS. C.’ WHEELER, 
Ex-Treasurer of Morrow County, Ohio. 


We think it nnnesessary to add more tatters of PRAISE, and ivill only give the foUonxing 
to show the merits of the books over which this one of 1875 is SO FAR SUPERIOR : 

Rooms of Auditor.s’ Convention, i 
Columbus, O., Jan. 25tb, 1872. )' 

To the P'esident and Meynbers of the Convention of Auditors of Ohio, now in session ; 

We, the under.signed, believing that the plan of keeping Auditors’ and Treasurers’ 
Accounts, according to W. C. M. Baker’s System, is of such importance to the Officers 
and Country at large, as to ask your honorable body to have the following {)laced upon 
the records of this meeting, viz: 

“That we consider the system more complete more ea.sily understood, better adapted 
to the keeping of Accounts than any other system ; besides, the labor .saved over other 
methods, is a matter of great consideration to each otficer; and we have no hesitancy in 
saying, if all Auditors using the system were present, they wouhl endorse the above.”

Authors in its various 
forms is the most popular 
game ever j>ul>lished, and 
Authors Ijipuovicd, in¬ 
vented and j)ateuted hy 
the publishers, is so far superior in method to the original game, that it is almost new. New 
plates have been prepared this season, in which portraits of the authors are introduced in the 
same manner that several years ago Dickens and his charaeters were illustrated in the game of 
Popular Characters from Dickens. The cards also arc finished with the cream enamel water¬ 
proof, which gives them a beautiful surface and renders them so perfectly water-proof that even 
ink spots may be washed off. For beauty of design and perfection of finish these cards are un- 
eryialed, and if the patented method of play is also considered, the game far excels all others.

OUE PAEOEAMAS. 

The following series of Panoramas are universally popular, because they combine instruction with 
amusement. Tlie simple idea of pasting together a number of disconnected pictures in the form 
of a Panorama, has little interest to a child after having seen them once, but if the pictures have 
a historical connection, and are accompanied by such explanations as render them intelligible, 
the interest then becomes permanent, and the result is the unconscious reception of a valuable 
store of knowledge by the child. 

This is a miniature Panorama of 
the early history of this Country, 
beautifully colored, mounted on 
rollers, and enclosed in a neat box, 
A PANOKAMA AND HISTORY OF AMERICA. containing, together with the Pano¬ 
rama, a sheet of admission tickets, a show-bill advertising the exhibition, and a brief Descriptive 
Lecture, which, together with the pictures, serve to fix in the mind the principle events of 
history, in their chrondiogical order. 

As the most interesting events relate to the early years of the present century, this is specially 
interesting for the Centennial. Price, $1.25. 


A Historical Panorama of the late 
war, arranged on the same general 
plan as the Historiscope. 

Price, $1.25. 


A beautiful Moving Panorama, consisting of 25 
scenes from the life of childhood, which are ingen¬ 
iously described in a lecture purporting to be from 
Santa Claus. Also accompanied 'by a poster 
and admission tickets. Price, $1.25.

DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF KIJiDER-GARTEN GIFTS MANUFACTURED RY 
MILTON BRADLEY & CO., SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 

Believing fully in the immense value of the priucii)les of the Kinder-garteu, and its future suc- 
...' .. '' ' - . - - . , ^ 

and the 

- . -......hut the 

sale h:is been too limited to encourage the general trade in keeping a slock. With an increasing 
knowledge of the subject and a general desire, on the part of the public and of teachers espe¬ 
cially, for information, the trade are having numerous inquiries for these goods, and hence 
we offer the following list; In arranging the material we have endeavored to keep it as simple 
as possible so as to adapt it as much as possible to the general trade. Having reduced the Gifts 
to the simplest forms and most convenient packages, we have endeavored to make this list as 
exp licit and plain as possible. The prices quoted are offered to teachers and others buying in 
exuantities. By the single box or .set of each gift the price is 25 per cent, additional. 

First Gift.—For the youngest children, six soft balls of various colors. Aim to 
to teach color, right and left, to develop the eye, movements of hands, arms, and 
feet in various plays. §1.00. 

These balls are best made of hair, cotton, or some other soft substance, and cov¬ 
ered with a crotchet of silk or wool in liright colors. As the teachers and 
parents generally jirefer to make this gift for themselves we do not keej) it in 
stock. 

Second Gift.—Sphere, cube, and cylinder, made of wood. Aim to teach 
form, Xo notice similarity and dissimilarity of objects; sides, corners, and 
edges of cube explained and counted; qualities and actions of sjihere, cube, 
and cylinder different, owing to their difference in shaiie. Sphere viewed from 
all skies look alike; but cube and cylinder lu-esent different forms, according 
to the manner in which we look at them, &c., &c. 

The forms are neatly made and provided with the necessary stajiles and 
holes for suspending in the air. 

In wood box with .slide cover and gibbet for sus])ending forms, per box, 70 
cents. 

Third Gift.—l.arge cube, consisting of eight small cubes. Put up in a neat wood 
box with sliding cover. Per box 30 cents. 





Fourth Gift.—Large cube consisting of eight oblong blocks, 
sliding cover. Per box 30 cts. 


In wood box with 

Fifth Gift.—Large cube, consisting of twenty-one whole, six, half, and twelve 
quarter cube. In wooden box, slide cover. Per box, 75 cents. 

Sixth Gift.—Large cube, consisting of eighteen whole, and three lengthwise, and 
six breadthwise, divided oblong blocks. In wooden box, slide cover. Per box 75 cents. 
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth gifts serve as Imilding blocks, and for this purpose 

_ —one of the most perfect, interesting, and developing features of the Kinder-garten— 

iimic ..re an endless variety of plans to be carried out, one surpassing anotber in interest and 
beauty. The first six gifts only, are used in a strictly serial order, the following gifts being intro¬ 
duced after the second gift at the discretion of the teacher, to give suitable variety to the instruction. 

Seventh Gift.—Quadrangular and 
triangular t.ablets of colored paper 
board—five different kinds—for laying 
figures. Each kind in a box. Per set, $1.25. The same forms of tablets of wood, each form in 
a neat wood box with sliding cover. Five kinds as follows; Box A 8 squares, 30 cents; Box B 64 
h<alf squares 75 cents; Box C 24 equilateral triangles colored, 60 cents; Box D 64 obtuse angled 
triangles 75 cents; Box E 56 right angled 30*, 75 cents. The large number of pieces here fur¬ 
nished is much more desirable than any smaller number of each kind, 

III the occupation with these tablets, as also in that with the material of the previous four gifts, 
the law of opposites .and their medi.ation and combin.atioii, is constantly followed. In the six 
previous gifts the child had to do with .solids; by the introduction of the tablets, the pl.anes are 
mtroducea which are followed bv the introduction of the embodied straight line in ’the eighth 
gift and the curved line in the ninth gift. All the necessary diagrams for the first seven gifts 
are ’funiished in Parts I and II of Paradise of Childhood. r . 

Eighth Gift,—Consists of wooden staffs or wands for laying figures. A package of 2.50, about 
20 in. long. Per package .50 cents. Box containing ^OO sticks cut to 1,2, 3. 4, and 5 inches long. 
Per box, ,30 cents, ffiiese staffs, as are most of the previous gifts, are employed to teach numer¬ 
ical proportions. Tli.at which is usu.ally called the multiplication table is taught by means of 
these gifts by .actual observation. Instruction in reading, according to the phonetic method, as 
well as imitation of all letters of the alph.abet. together with Koman and Arabic numer.als,are 

taught in connection therewith preparatory to the instruction in writing. .r t , i.™ 

3 Ninth Gift.—Consists of whole and half wire rings, also for laying figuies. Inbox. 
^ The'^ri Jgs^^"well as the staffs in the eighth gift are u.sed ns preparatory to the drawing 

Tentu‘^Gift!'-This gift relates to drawing, and the only material ^’'^VrlilVts^in^a^ch pack4e^ 
offer is paper ruled in two styles for the purpose. Put up in packaps of 
ruled in squares on one side. The method by which drawing is introduced 
and perfect ever invented. It is exceedingly interesting to observe how by it f 
pupils will be led to perfection in a very short time. One packap of each kind 
r,0 cents. All the diagrams for the eighth, ninth and tenth gifts arc in Part, III of Paradise ot 

* ^ElevenVh Gift.—Material for perforating. The .articles required for this gift are 

perforating needle, llie p.aper is ruled the same as in the tenth gift, but is ^ 

the pricking better. The needle is a small handle with a point in one end. P,ackage of paper 50 

clfG-^Mater^^ embroidering. The embroidering is 
ored silks and worsted on paper. The needles can be procured at the places where such articles 





































ivizxjTonsr cfc oo. 

are usually sold. At the commencement the same paper is used as in the eleventh gift. We have 
at the suggestion of a prominent teacher prepared a set of plates for pricking cards for embroider¬ 
ing, and oner cards 3%x4>i, pricked in 36 different patterns, at $1.25 per hundred. 

As there are over 500 holes in many of the patterns the convenience to teachers will readily be 
seen. We will send samples with designating number on back of each at above rate and thereaf¬ 
ter they can be ordered by numbers. When the pupil is more advanced, papers with lithographed 
designs are used. Set of designs in envelope, 7 cents. Starting from a straight line of one-eighth 
of an inch, the pupils produce, in course of time, the most beautiful representations of natural and 
artificial objects—mute, eloquent tokens of an early acquired taste, in regard to form and color, 
and of manual dexterity and skill rarely witnessed in children of such tender age. 

Thirteenth Gift.—Cutting of paper, and combining the parts so produced into 
figures. Squares of paper are folded in different ways, and are cut according to marks 
on them by the pupils. The child’s jiropensity to use scissors, and to destroy by doing 
it, is here guided in such an ingenious manner, that the most astonishing results are 
produced mereby. 

Complete instructions and diagrams are published in Part IV, Paradise of Childhood, for this 
most curious and interesting gift. Formerly the teacher was obliged to make cutting marks on 
the folded papers, but we have prepared papers with faint lines, accurately ruled on them, cor¬ 
responding with the designs, so that the pupils are enabled to prepare their own papers, thereby 
relieving the teachers ana affording the scholars more practice and instruction. 

Fifty ruled squares of white paper, and 45 pieces ten inches square of fine ultramarine paper 
are put up in a portfolio, thus furnishing sufficient material to produce, mounted, the designs 
furnished in the “ Paradise of Childhood.” Price per set, as above, $1.00. 

The ruled white papers at 60 cents per one hundred sheets. These sheets are necessarily made 
with the greatest care as each piece must be exactly square and must be ruled with perfect accuracy. 

Fourteenth Gift.—Material for weaving orbraiding. Strips of colored paper are by mean.s of a 
steel needle of peculiar construction, woven into a differently colored sheet of paper which is cut 
into strips throughout its entire surface, except a margin at each end to confine 
the strips in place. The greatest variety of designs are produced, and inventive 
powers of teacher and pupil constantly increase their numbers. 

We prepare these papers in strips of two-widths, 1-8 and 1-4 inch, which we 
designate wide and narrow, and put up in boxes. A neat box containing twelve 
sheets of slitted paper with a suitable number of strips for braiding, and one 
steel weaving needle constitute a set of material. The widths are not assorted 
in same box. Assorted colors in each box. Per box 40 cents. 




FifteentU Gift.—Slats for interlacing. 
40 cents. 


Fifty slats ten inches long. Per set. 


Sixteenth Gift.—A set of jointed slats with four, six, eight, and sixteen links, 
jointed pieces form a set. In a box, per set, 60 cents. 


Four 


Seventeenth Gift.—Paper strips for lacing. Paper strips of various colors—eight, 

a variety of fanciful 


ariety ■ 

These may be pre- 



or ten inches long, and folded lengthwise—are used to represent 
forms, by bending and twisting them according to certain rules, 
pared by the pupus or we will supply them to order. 

KighteiMitli Gift.—Material for paper folding. Square pieces of paper are here used to form 
variously-shaped objects by folding. The variety is endless, and the work prepares the pupil for 
many a useful similar manual performance in practical life. The paper must be cut exactly 
square. Paper cut to size in package of 480 sheets. Per package, 75 cents. 

Nineteenth Gift.—Material for Peas-work. Peas are soaked for twelve hours in 
water, and pieces of wire of various lengths pointed at the ends, are stuck into them, 
for the purpose of imitating objects of life and the various geometrical figures. Skele¬ 
tons are thus produced, which develop the eye for perspective drawing most successfully. 

We have provided a set of one hundred wires, pointed at each end, and of assorted 
letigtlis of 1, 11^, 2, 3, 3!4, and 4 inches. Inbox. Per box 20 cents. Many teachers 

prefer, instead of the wires, to use the sticks of the eighth gift, which may be cut and pointed at 
pleasure. 

Twentieth Gift.—iVIaterial for modeling. Bees-wax, clay or other material, worked with a 
small wooden knife, on a light smooth board, are used for this purpose. We do not for the pres¬ 
ent, offer anything for this gift, teachers preferring to prepare their own material.

A MANUAL FOR SELF-INSTRUCTION IN FRIEDRICH FROEBEL’S EDUCATIONAL PRINCIPLES, AND 
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO KINDER-GARTNERS.—BY EDWARD WIEBE. 

This book contains seventy-six large double column quarto pages of letter-press, and seventy- 
four full page Lithographed plates. The engravings are from German plates that have been 
carefully revised and corrected by Prof. Wiebe. The work is for the use of teachers and mothers; 
it is published in Four Parts, each complete in itself. Part I.—Contains First, Second, Third an’d 
Fourth Gifts with nine plates. Part II.—Contains Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Gifts and twenty 
plates. Part III.—Contains Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Gifts, and seventeen {dates. Part IV.— 
Contains Eleventh to Twentioth Gifts inclusive, and twenty-eight plates. Price for the four 
parts by mail, $3.00. Price for each part by mail, 75 cents. These books supply in addition to a 
full exposition of the Kinder-garten method, a complete set of diagrams for all of the gifts, which 
are in this way procured in a permanent form much cheaper than they can otherwise be obtained. 
Every parent and teacher in this country should have a copy of Paradise of Childhood. 

As the first and only parties to manufacture the occupation material in this country and thereby 
to materially reduce the price formerly obtained for the inferior imported goods, we ask the pat¬ 
ronage of the teachers and of the trade as far as they may have calls for these goods.

THE EINDERaARTEN ALPHABET AND BUILDING BLOCKS. 



As the originators of these popular blocks for childretn we invite the attention of the trade and 
the jjublic to their superiority for the purposes of amusement and instruction. The advantages 
of the Kindergarten forms selected and adopted by us, over the old style of cubes for children’s 
alphabet blocks is evident to every one that has given any thought to the subject, as it is desira¬ 
ble to combine the building and educational qualities in one set of bloc.ks, rather than to purchase 
a set of cubes for the alphabets and another set of some other kind for building purposes, and it 
is apparent that no approximation to architectural design can be produced with cube blocks. The 
particular arrangement of the embellishments on our blocks has been adopted by us with refer¬ 
ence to a judicious combination of amusement with instruction. 

In the complete sets the Alphabet Blocks contain on one side the Roman capital and lower-case 
letters, and on the reverse the same letters in Script, thus: 


Aa 





In this way the process of learning the letters is graded. The child naturally learns the 
Roman capital first, then from association on tlie block the lower-case, ajid afterwards the Script. 
In a similar manner the numerals are combined. On one side of a block is an Arabic numeral 
and on the reverse the equivalent Roman figures, thus: 




Thus the Arabic numeral is usually first learned, and from the connection the letters forming 
the Roman numerals. The blocks not used for alphabets and numerals are embellished with ani¬ 
mals. By the sacrifice of the lower-case letters, the Script alphabets and the numerals, many 
more animals can be added, but we believe all will see the <lesirableness of retaining as far as 
possible the educational features, while enough animals are produced to .secure the interest of the 
children. 

As blocks are intended for very small children it is desirable that there be no poisonous material 
that can be removed by water, either from the blocks or the box. To insure this important quality 
beyond a doubt we make our colors water-proof, and we have further discarded the use of eolored 
papers on our boxes. All of our wooden block bo.xes are now made of black walnut fini.shed in the 
natural color of the wood, and the labels are printed in oil colors on white paper, thus while the 
boxes are much more elegant all the poisonous colors and bronzes used in the manufacture and 






































printing of fancy papers are avoided. AV e do not put our firm name on emdi individual laliel, but ^ 
it will be found on the outside of each package as put up for the Trade :md on ilie sheet of dia¬ 
grams in each box. 


Tlie full name, The Kini>er<!Akte\ Alphaket and IUhi.dinc hi.orKs. belongs to us and 
has not to our knowledge been copied, although the name “ Kinderc akte.n ” lia-s been ajiplied ' 
to various other manufactures, since the popularity of our blocks became established. 

The combinations that may V)e produced are innumerable and iiever exhausted:

H. B. NIMS (Sn CO., TROY, N V. 


THE FRANKLIN AND JOSLIN GLOBES. 

The following are some of the Advantages these Globes have over others: 

Superiority of manufacture, the result of an experience of over thirty years. 

The Maps are more distinct than others, being printed on copper, not on stone. 

The Meridians are all brass, and woX iron, properly lacquered to avoid tarnishing. 

We warrant them against crackmg, a‘ common failing with Globes not properly made. 

All foreign Globes check in our climate. 

We supply both Terrestrial and Celestial, of all sizes except the 30-inch. 

Also, furnish Quadrants for all sizes except 6-inch. The Terrestrial plates are en¬ 
graved to p later date than any others. Considering the length of time that a Globe 
lasts, it is important that they should be 7 )iodern when purchased. 

The following important additions and corrections have been made: New boundaries 
of Germany, France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia; Rome named as capital of Italy ; 
capital of Nebraska and Louisiana changed ; Pacific railroad and Submarine cables laid 
down ; Alaska and other new territories ; important discoveries in Africa; correct names 
of countries, as Dominion of Canada, British Columbia, United States of Columbia, and 
the Argentine Confederation. 

The 16-inch Terrestrial gives the Isothermal lines of temperature, and the deep sea 
soundings. 

The leading dealers in School Furniture in the large cities give our Globes preference over all others, their 

experience teaching them that they are the only Globes that give perfect satisfaction to their customers.

TO THE TRADE. 


In presenting **to the Trade"' this complete List of our 
Importations and Manufactures^ we believe we supply a 
*‘Vade Mecum to every Trinter and Jobbing Stationer in 
the country. While we purpose to still maintain our celebrity, 
for producing the finest quality of goods at fair prices^ we 
also both manufacture, and supply from other manufacturers, 
goods of inferior quality and lower price. 

Our manufactory of envelopes under the superintendence 
of our Mr. Harry C. (Bainbridge, is complete in all its appoint-^ 
ments and adapted for the production of the finest class of 
wedding and epistolary stationery. 

Our Centennial'" paper, a revival of old style paper, 
deserves and will well repay the attention of the trade. Its 
success has led various unprincipled competitors to copy both 
our name and style. As regards the use of THE NAME, WE ARE 
PROTECTED BY THE UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE, AND SHALL 
PROSECUTE ALIKE THE MANUFACTURERS OR SELLERS OF PAPER 
CALLED “CENTENNIAL" As to the style of paper., we wish it to 
be judged by its merits only ; for both in price and quality, 
we believe it is unequalled by any papers ever produced in 
the country.

To our Customers: 

In order to meet the constant inquiries for 
Memorial Cards, we have made a few samples to show the 
sizes used. The idea of Memorial Cards came from England, 
where they have long been used, in fact, are in almost as 
general use as Wedding Cards, and we are confident must be¬ 
come so here. Any other shapes or widths of border to order 
at proportionate rates. 

Yours truly.

April First, 1876 . 

SPECIFICATION. 

Describing a Trade-Mark, used by Porter & Bainbridge, of New York, in the County 
and State of New York, for Writing Paper, Envelopes, and Cards. 

Our trade-mark consists of the word “Centennial,” which has been used, as shown 
in the accompanying Fac Simile—the word “ Centennial ” being arranged in a curved line 
above the picture of a cocked hat, having a gun and sword crossed behind it, with the 
figures “ 1776” on one side, and “ 1876” on the other, and a monogram below the hat, 
and with a representation of rays of light radiating from the centre of the picture in all 
directions; all of which has been printed upon the wrappers or labels of the boxes con¬ 
taining the paper or envelopes, or upon labels attached to the same. The essential feature 
of the trade-mark, however, is the word “ Centennial,” which we propose to use in 
various ways; among which may be mentioned by water-marking it in the Paper. 

This trade-mark we have just commenced to use upon Paper, Envelopes and Cards 
sold bv us.

or selling Paper, Envelopes, or Cards called “Centennial” or in the use of the word 
Centennial applied to cither Envelopes, Paper, or Cards, excepting those of our

The Great Educational Work of the Year! 


THE 

American Educational Cyclopaedia, 

A REFERENCE BOOK 

For all Matters of Education in the United States and in the World. 


Considering the infancy of the United States, it is most gratify¬ 
ing for the future Educational prospects of our country, that 
not only Teachers, School Officers, Clergymen, Lawyers, 
Editors, and Parents with children to Educate, but the better 
portion of the public generally are seeking the information 
which is contained in this Cyclopaedia. 

The work is officially endorsed by the State and Territorial 
Superintendents of Public Instruction. 

It gives a digest of Educational Legislation in every 
State and Territory from their origin, together with a full 
synopsis of their present School Systems and School 
Legislation during the year. 

It contains a History of Educational Land Grants and the Peabody Fund; 
Geographical and Scientific Discoveries for the past eighteen months: latest 
Educational Statistics for the entire country, comprising Number of Schools, 
School Houses and Number of Pupils Enrolled, Average Attendance, Legal 
School Age, Number of Teachers and Average Pay; the School Funds of the 
respective States and the Annual Amount of their School Receipts and Ex¬ 
penditures ; School Statistics of One Hundred American Cities; Education in 
other Countries; the Compulsory Law of New York; the Educational Features 
of the pending Civil Rights Bill; Educational Associations and Conventions 
during the year; a List of the Colleges, Universities, Theological, Law, Normal 
and Scientific Schools in the United States; Brief Sketches of all the present

Eueeka LKjmD Slatiitg 

(Munger's Inveittion. J. W. Sciiermekuokn & Co., Sole Manufactvrers), 

MAKES A SURFACE WHICH RIVALS THE BEST STONE SLATES. 

It is perfectly Black; never Crumbles; always remains Hard and Smooth. 

It is successfully applied to board, paper, or wall, and is invaluable in renovatinpf old 
Blackboards, Its Dukarility is proved by eijjditeen j'ears’ severe use in the best schools 
of New England and New York. The Surface seems to improve with use and age. Any 
teacher, observing “Directions,” can apply it, inaldng perfect slate surface, un¬ 
rivalled in color, smoothness, and durability. 

PRICE: Pints, $1.50; 4uaits, $2.50; Gallons, $9.00. 

One quart will cover 100 square feet, one coat. Hence it makes cheap Blackboard. 
For old Boards, one coat is enough; new surface requires two. It is put up in tin cans, 
and safely sent by expi-ess. 

CAUTION. —Eureka Liquid Slating is the Original Liquid Slating— the first 
Liquid Blackboard ever sold. Its success has called out imitations; but none produce 
the perfectly smooth, enduring, dead-black surface of the Eureka. It is 

THE ONLY SLATE SURFACE WHICH WILL NOT GLAZE. 

Prominent Educators almost everywhere cun speak for Eureka Slating ; and we 

will warrant it. 


Testimony for the EUREKA SLATING. 

The Eureka Liquid Slating will alwi^'s give satisfaction when -properly applied. 

JOHN D. PHILBRICK, Snpt. Public Schools, Boston, Mass. 

We have used Eureka Slating on our blackboards since 1864 ; I do not hesitate to say that they 
are superior to the best stone slates. 

C. G. CLARK, Master Bigelow Grammar School, S. Boston, Mass. 

I have used it fltteen years, and it seems to improve. From my own experience 1 think it will 
last FIFTY YEARS. E. ROBINS, Principal, New Haven, Conn. 

The Eureka is the best surface for Blackboards we have used in ten years’ teaching. 

GEO. D. BROOMELL, Principal Haven School, Chicago. 

IRA b. BAKER, Principal Skinner School, Chicago. 

Your Eureka Slating is wonderful. I applied it to old blackboards. They are like stone slate. 

O. R. WILLIS, Principal Alexander Institute, White Plains, N. Y. 

Office Superintendent Public Schools, Cleveland, Ohio, 1867 

Eureka Liquid Slating covers over twelve thousand feet of cur blackboards, at a cost of about 
$1000. We are well paid. It is far superior to anything which I know. ANSON SMY'TH. 

Eureka Slating is on blackboards in my school. They are hard, do not reflect tlie light, and are 
smoother than natural slate. A. J. RIC'KOFF, Principal, Ciucihnai'. Ohio. 

I have used it ten years. It is slate-color, smooth, and never becomes glossy. 

O. S. COOK, Principal No. 2, Dayton, Ohio. 

For fifteen years I have used blackboards of every sort, those made of wood, and well coated 
with various preparations. I have tried quarry slate. For six years I have used Eureka Slating, 
and find it superior to any other surface. 

ALONZO J. HOWE, Prin. Prep. Dept., Chicago University. 

Albirni Commercial College, Michigan. May 3. ISM. 

We find Eureka Slating surface equal to the best stone slates. (Hon.) IRA MAY HEW, Prest. 

National Business College, Chicago, May‘iS,Wa^. 

We have used it in our four College buildings, on eominon walls and on old boards. It exceeds 
our hopes in fineness and durability. H.'G. EASTMAN, LL.D., Prest.; D. K. ALLEN, Secy. 

Indianaiwlls Female Institute, Ind., March 12, 1866. 

For four years we have used Eureka Slating, with complete satisfaction.—on wood, papered 
walls, and Hard finish. I prefer it to real slate, because it is as good, with advantage of unbroken 
Burfaoe to any extent. 0. \V . HEW Eb, President. 

St. Joseph, Missouri, Aug. 28, 1865. 

It is easily applied, and makes a beautiful and perfect blackboard surface. 

E. B. NEELY, Supt. Public Schools. 

Minnesota State Normal School. Winona. March 13.1866. 

/ Onr blackboards are of Eureka Slating. It leaves nothing to be desired. It is equal to best 
V'ermont and Lehigh slates, besides being cheaper. I commend it to the teachers of the Northwest. 

WM. F. PHELPS, Principal.

BLACK-BOARD MATERIAL. 


The Rival Liquid Slating. 


This new Slating is so named because it RIVALS every one of the many cheap 
liquid black-board surfaces which have been cast upon the market since the great 
success of the Eureka Liquid Slating tempted the cupidity of imitators. 

We cannot claim that this new Slating equals the Eureka; for that is incon¬ 
sistent with cheapness of material. However, we have long had a desire to make 
an acceptable article which would cost less than the Eureka. We have despaired 
of finding materials to enable us to cheapen the manufacture of the famous 
Eureka. In fact the constant advance in the prices of the indispensable African 
gums which enter into its composition admonishes us that we may have to increase. 
its price. 

Hence, in order to indulge the desire for cheapness, we have, after a patient 
course of experiment, perfected the Rival Liquid Slating. We have given it the 
following properties : 

1. It has sufficient body and flowing qualities to fill and render smooth an 
ordinary hard-finish wall, or board, or paper surface. 

2. It may be applied with a common paint or varnish brush without any special 
skill or practice on the part of the person applying it. 

3. It is penetrating and adhesive enough to hold fast to all surfaces, and 
sufficiently elastic to avoid cracking and flaking off, amid all atmospheric changes. 

4. It is hard enough to receive, without being scratched, the marks of the 
crayon. 

5. Its texture is so close that the fine chalk will not penetrate it and give it 
that grayish appearance common to the cheap black-board stuff. 

6 . It has such a dead black color (without gloss) that the marks can bo seen 
from all angles j and it is so thoroughly homogeneous that it will so remain till 
Avorn out. 

7. The use of water will not iryure it. (All these qualities are essential to 
any liquid slating worthy the name.) 

8. The Rival. Liquid Slating is cheap. 

Price, $1.50 per quart; $5.00 jier gallon. Discounts on lots of five gallons or 
more, 

It is put up in tin cans, and safely sent everywhere. 

This Rival Slating will enable eA’ery School District in the United States to 
afford abundant black-board surface on the school-house walls, at an expense so 
trifling that it will not be felt. In the course of two years it will be found to 
prove considerably cheaper than common black paint.

They are so framed that they are free to shrink or swell without possibility of splitting or warping. 



The utility of the blackboard is beyond discus.sion. It is an admitted necessity 
wherever teaching is to be done. The day-school teacher, Sunday-school teacher, 
Lecturer on Science, and Professor in college, each has constant need of it. 

It being indispensable, the question is. What blackboard is \>tsi ? The verdict 
of Science and testimony of teachers agree on the EUREKA. This surface is incom¬ 
parably the best. The most costly natural slates do not equal it. It is finer and 
harder and blacker than slate. It is also smoother, and yet it never becomes glazed, 
and marks upon it are perfectly legible from any direction. ^ 

The portable Eureka Slate is unrivalled. It is light, easily and safely handled, 
less liable than slate to breaks and scratches, more convenient to use, much cheaper, 
besides being safely transportable. The surface, though hard as flint, never checks 
or separates from the wood. This elasticity of the Eureka Slate is one of its 
peculiar and most valuable properties.

BLACK-BOARD MATERIAL. 


Slated Cloth. 


Black-Boards r y Mail. 

How much black-board surface is required in the scbool-room? This is no 
longer an open question. Teachers, school-officers, all agree that every square 
inch of available space should be devoted to black-board surface. It is impossible 
to get enough to satisfy the wants of the real live modern teacher. Hence we 
have peculiar pleasure whenever we can announce anything new in the way of 
increasing the black-board capacity of American schools. 

We now announce a perfect slate surface on cloth. To supply a ready black¬ 
board, anywhere, it will be most acceptable. Teachers and popular lecturers will 
find it invaluable. Cloth has been used occasionally for marking surface for 
many years; but always so rudely that it has had many drawbacks. We have 
invented a process (now being patented) which overcomes all the difficulties. 

The surface is as perfect as one of the Eureka Slates and it will endure as 
much folding and crumpling as a silk handkerchief—it is perfectly elastic. The 
great necessity for such an article is proved by the fact that quantities of a slated 
paper, of questionable surface, have been sold at even a greater price than we 
charge for this, which is far better and more enduring. 

The stock which we keep on hand is one yard and a quarter wide. We can 
make it to order in greater widths, when required in considerable quantities, for 
special purposes. Price, per linear yard of width named (10)^ square feet).$1.00 

A piece 3 ft. by 2 ft. will be sent by mail, prepaid, for. 1-00 

This is the largest size which we are permitted to send through the mails. If 
more than this is required by mail it will have to go in separate packages, each of 
that size. 

This Slated Cloth, to prove most efficient, should be carefully and securely 
nailed against a smooth fiat surface. The edges should be tacked tightly and 
closely through a thin strip of tough wood, or through a strip of leather, so that 
the constant wear of the crayons and the black-board rubbers, may not fret the 
edges loose.

BLA.CK-BOARD MATERIAL. 


Elack-Eoard Easels, Supports, etc. 



Kendall’s Black-Board Basel is specially suited for class-rooms, lecture-halls, 
Sunday-schools, and places where economy of space is an object. When not 

wanted, it can be folded up in a moment, and 
put away like an ordinary board. Its portability, 
the little room it occupies when jjacked, and con¬ 
sequent cheapness of transportation, make it a 
most convenient and economical Easel. It is 
patented. 

Price, Ash, $3.00. Black Walnut, $3.50. 



The Revolving Black-board Basel, for the Teacher’s Desk or Table, has for 
some years answered a good purpose in the schools 
of New York City. The first cut represents it occu¬ 
pied by a Blackboard, the second cut shows its 
construction. Price.$5.00. 


Hammond’s Black - board Support, 

obviating the disadvantages of movable 
blackboards, has become deservedly 
popular. The iron feet are sufficiently 
heavy to insure stability. It is rigid 
and substantial. There are no glued 
joints ; all the parts are firmly bolted 
together, and are taken apart for ship¬ 
ping. It has lock-pins for holding the 
board in position. It may bo revolved 
either way—on horizontal or perpen¬ 
dicular axle—as shown in the cut. The 
board touches the support only on these 
]nns, and is noiseless. Beneath the 
board is a shelf for crayons, and for the 
falling particles of chalk. It is a ser¬ 
viceable and ornamental piece of furni¬ 
ture for the school or lecture-room.

BLACK-BOARD MATERIAL. 



TJie Slate Pencil Holder. 

The cut represents it about half size. It is made of wood, bored to receive a regular 
tour-inch slate pencil-a si-x-inch pencil broken in halves answers the purpose. Its size 
obviates the difficulties of other inventions, which are too small for the regular slate pen¬ 
cils offered for sale. Its advantages are too manifest to require enumeration here. Everv 
teacher knows how desirable it is to have a device which is large enough and Ion- enough 
prevent the Irregular bits of slate pencils from cramping the childrens’ fingers and injur¬ 
ing them for writing. The pencil is held securely in place on the same plan as the crayon 
in the crayon holder, fully illustrated below. It can be used as a pen holder. 

(Specimens mailed for 10 cents.) p^ce, eacli 5 cents. 



The Crayon Holder,* Full Size. 

Its length IS adapted to receive an entire crayon (which should be inserted small end 
first). Its great merit, hitherto unattained, is that it is short enough to be held easily and 
naturally in the hand, as a crayon. It is light and pleasant to the touch, and cannot soil 
the dress and fingers. Being made entirely of wood, it will not scratch the blackboard. 
It will quickly save more than its cost in utilizing the small pieces of crayons which cannci 
be held in the fingers. 

(Specimens mailed for 15 cents.) Price, each 10 cents. 



The New Blackboard Dividers 

Are made to receive and hold crayons in the same manner as the 
crayon holder. Each leg is adapted to receive a crayon, which is 
frequently a great convenience, in drawing parallel lines, and for 
various other purposes. In the cut one leg of the dividers is 
occupied by a piece of wood with a sharp metallic point. This 
renders the length of the leg adjustable. The head is fitted with 
a strong set-screw, which cannot get out of order. These dividers have no equal, and are 
cheaper than the common articles. The same patent covers the slate pencil holder, the 
crayon holder, and the new blackboard dividers, or “ crayon compasses.”

Blackboard Bubbers. 

For Erasing Marks from Blackboards and Wall Slates of all kinds. 

When ordering from this REVISED List, give NUMBER and NAME 
of Riibber, as well as PRICE. Each Rubber is Stamped with its No. 

The dusty rag, for clearing blackboards of marks, is disappearing with the slovenly 
teachers who were known in the past. No tidy teacher can permit the scattering of 
dust about the school-room, defiling the furniture, books, and dresses of pupils, besides 
damaging the health of teachers and pupils. To meet the increasing demand for 
Erasers or Blackboard Rubbers, we manufacture the following varied styles: 

Xo. 1. “Small Shearling.” —Size 2 in. by 3 3-4 in. The block is ash or 
other suitable wood, properly grooved for grasping with the hand. It is covered 
with sheepskin, usually “ Shearling.” The skin is securely fastened to the block and 
bound with binders’ cloth. Price, per doz. 1.20 

2 . “Small Corduroy.”—Is same size as No. I and made in came way, but 
Corduroy cloth is substituted for the sheepskin, 1.20 

“ Sheai’ling.”— Size 2 in. by 7 in. This is made in same manner and 
of same material as No. i, differing only in length,. 2.00 

4. “Corduroy.” — Same size as 3 and same material as 2, - - - 2.00 

5 . “Lambskin.” —Size 2 1-2 by 7 1-2 in. (Full size.) It is covered with 
first-class lambskin, having heavy and durable wool. The binding is leather, 2.50 

6. “ Extra Lambskin.” —Size 2 1-2 by 7 1-2 in., made of A i extra lambskin, 

having very fine long bleached wool, bound with red morocco, . - . 3.00 

“Small Brussels.”— Size 2 by 5 in. Is covered with fine heavy Brussels car¬ 
pet (sometimes Tapestry). It is a pretty rubber, and is cheap, - - - 2.40 

8. “Brussels.” —This rubber is same size and is made like No. 6, except that a 
good quality of Brussels carpeting takes the place of lambskin, . - - 4.00 

0 . “Tapestry.”— Regular full size (2 1-2 by 7 1-2 in.,) covered with fine 
hoavy selected velvet Tape.stry carpeting. It is a handsome and efficient rubber, 
highly esteemed in young ladies’ seminaries and colleges, ----- 4.50 

10 . “The Chamois Eubber.” — Patented —Consists of a series of Chamois 
skin strips, securely fixed in grooved hard-wood block. The Chamois edges come 
in snug contact with the blackboard, most effectually removing every particle of 
dust, gathering it up between the folds. When filled, the dust may be entirely 
discharged by rubbing two rubbers briskly together—thus all the wasted chalk may be 
conveyed “ out doors.” It is very highly appreciated, - - . - 5.00 

11 * “California Eubber.” — Is made over an elaborate block, in three 
parts, screwed together, peculiar to this style. It is larger than regular size, and 


covered with superior heavy Red Plush. It requires no binding. It is little known 
this side of the Pacific coast,._- - - 5.50 

12. “The Perpetual Eubber.” — Johnson’s Patent, is a Novelty and 
peculiar in its construction. It is estimated that it will prove ” the best and the 
cheapestbut its reputation is yet to be made, ----- . 0.00 


We claim that our Blackboard Rubbers are the very best manufactured. We will 
pay liberally for any new inventions or improvements on these articles. We have the 
“ inside track ” in this line, and we intend to keep it.

spinal distortions; for dyspeptics and for all persons of sedentary habits. 

The annexed cuts show the simplicity of 
the apparatus, and the Manual of Instruction 
Explains Over Two Hundred Exercises, 

(including waltzes and quadrilles,) which 
can be performed with it. Here we have 
no complicated or heavy apparatus, requir¬ 
ing locality specially adapted to its use, 
but a light, portable combination, which can be carried in the Pccket. Its 
Perfect Adaptability to the Uses of all Perscns of Both Sexes, and its elasticity 
in presenting a series and great variety of exercises, gives it many advantages. 


Its Constant Use will not only give 
strength to the weak, birt it acts as a cure 
as well as a preventive. It will strengthen 
Weak Lungs; it will Cure Neuralgia; it will 
Cure Headache; it will Cure Sleeplessness; 
and many other Nervous Complaints. 






The Hon. Henry Kiddle, Sup’t of New York Public Schools, recom¬ 
mends it as follows: “ It has been used in very many of the public schools 

of this city, and has been found a very 
valuable aid in conducting exercises for 
physical culture. No apparatus that I 
have seen seems to be so well calculated 
to promote the object designed, while the 
exercises are agreeabl 
appropriate for schools.”

Globes. 

“A Grood Globe is as essential in every school-room as an English Dictionary, 
or a Blackboard.” 

Slated Globes are now finding a place, hitherto 
unoccupied, in every grade of school, from Pri¬ 
mary to University. Their varied uses as ” Spher¬ 
ical Blackboards,” make them as much a necessity 
to intelligent teaching as common flat blackboards. 

If for no other purpose than laying a sure 
foundation for a right understanding of Geogra¬ 
phy, they are entitled to first rank in school 
apparatus. With them the teacher of Geography 
may begin objective instruction at the outset, 
showing the things themselves, not inaccurate 
pictures which the well-trained mind may imagine 
to represent them. Pupils thus learn not merely 
names of geographical lines, but what they 
are, what they are for, and how to draw them ; and more, how to draw by them. 
Map-drawing becomes intelligent work, not mere mechanical transferring of un¬ 
meaning marks from one paper to another. 

Multitudes of facts and phenomena can be illustrated and explained so simply and 
clearly that any child can understand them. The most obscure theorems and prob¬ 
lems of Spherical Geometry, Trigonometry, and Navigation become, when studied in 
connection with the Sphere, perfectly intelligible. 

As now made, these Globes, or Spherical Blackboards, arc an improvement of the original inven¬ 
tion of Profe.osor Shepard. Sizes and prices ;

Our New Scbool Globe. Probably the principal reason why so few of our schools are 

supplied with a globe is that there has been no 
good globe to be obtained at a moderate price. 

Our new five-inch Terrestrial Globe will 
precisely supply this want. The map is new— 
clearly and finely engraved—prepared expressly 
for taking the place of the large and expensive 
globes. The “Grand Divisions” are boldly 
colored. The water is white, distinctly showing 
the principal Islands, Peninsulas, Capes, Gulfs, 
Bays, etc., etc. 

It is mounted in a light and durable manner, 
with strong brass mountings, inclined axis, on a 
neat black-walnut stand. 

Securely packed in box with sliding cover.

Globes. 


The Franklin 16 inch Globes (Terrestrial and Celestial), are especially valuable 
globes. They are very finely engraved, and are, unquestionably, more useful for daily 
reference than a map, showing, at a glance, the relative positions of different countries, 
their boundaries, and their latitude and longitude. 



The Franklin 30 inch Globe (Terrestrial only) is plainly engraved, and hand¬ 
somely mounted on solid Walnut frame. It is the largest made in this country, 
and presents an elegant appearance ; it is appropriate for public rooms, literary 
institutions, hotels, saloons of steamers, as well as for greater schools and colleges.

A New Way to See Stars, 


DR. CLARKE’S ASTRONOMICAL LANTERN. 



Size of the face of the Lantern 6X x 10 laches. 


Those who have studied astronomy by means of a globe or atlas, know how 
dilTicult it is to remember the position of the stars while passing from the lighted 
room out of doors to compare the map with the actual constellations. This 
difficulty has been obviated by an A.stronomical Lantern prepared by Dr. James 
Freeman Clarke, a well-known astronomer. He has devoted several years in 
perfecting his invention, and in preparing a Manual to accompany it. The con¬ 
struction of the lantern will be readily understood by an examination of the 
accompanying illustration. It is made of japanned tin, the face being of ground 
glass, behind which a light is placed. Thirty-two constellations are photographed 
upon slides of semi-transparent cardboard, and stars of four magnitudes are represented 
by perforations of proper sizes. Some of the smaller stars are also plainly represented, 
but as there are no perforations for the light to shine through, they are not so 
prominent. Small figures refer to the telescopic objects in the margin. 

The Manual is designed to accompany the lantern, but is not a necessity, as 
any astronomy can be used. It contains clear explanations of the constellations, 
and as much information as is found in some of the larger books. The maps have 
been prepared under Dr. Clarke’s personal supervision; and the plates, being 
photographed from the original drawings, are correct in every particular. The 
lantern can be used out of doors, and the student can instantly refer from the 
map to the sky. It is light, and can be held without fatigue. It has been shown 
to eminent teachers and to gentlemen of high scientific repute, who have very 
highly complimented this invention for its great utility.

Ink-Well Covers, Ink-Wells, etc. 

Bell’s Patent Ink-Well Cover is complete in one piece. The upper side is 
shown in the first cut herewith, and a section of the lower side (next to the ink) 
in the second cut. The old-fashioned ink-well cover was, like this, in one piece ; but 

its lower side was flat, and the ink, when the 
well was full, would draw ui? to the cover, and 
when the pupil pushed the cover around to open 
the well, the ink besmeared over the desk— 
hence it was abandoned. 

Mr. Bell’s patent thoroughly remedies this 
difficulty, since it is scooped out (as shown in 2 d 
cut), and the ridge (on the lower side), just as the 
cover is being pushed from the well, raises it up 
and discharges into the well whatever ink may 
have been adhering to the cover. Besides, this 
little ridge holds the cover up from touching 
the desk. This is the leading idea of the patent, 
and makes this cover a complete success. 

There being no hinge, there is nothing about it 
that can break. A single screw fastens it securely 
to the desk, and the cover revolves noiselessly on 
the sCrew as a pivot. The disagreeable clatter, 
which most teachers have suffered from when the 
pupils open and shut the wells, cannot occur in 
the use of Belf s cover. 

It is made of cast-iron, in an ornamented 
pattern, and is japanned. Its size, shown in full 
in the cut, is adapted to all of the sizes of glass 
ink-wells now made. 

It is noiseless; it is the strongest and 
most enduring, and it is the cheapest — the 

price being.per dozen .60 

The ordinary hinged cover.75 

The Hew Brass Ink-Well Cover is made on the same principle as Bell’s patent 
cover. It is intended for those who want something brighter and handsomer 

than the iron cover represented above. 
It is struck out of sheet' brass, and lac¬ 
quered. It is exceedingly neat, and gives a 
bright and ornamental appearance to the desk. 
It must be admitted that whatever contributes to 
the good appearance of school furniture, is of 
advantage. We cannot do too much to make the 
school-room look pleasant and cheerful, and thus 
cultivate the taste of pupils. 

It has the same merit of noiselessness possess¬ 
ed by Bell’s cover. 'It has been in use in some of 
the best schools for about four years, and is 
highly praised by all who have tried it. Con¬ 
sidering its cost, it is meeting with a demand 
which is quite surprising.

Ink-Well Covers, Ink-Wells, etc. 

Th 3 American Ijocking Ink-well Cover is a new invention, intended to supnly 
the need of a locking cover for the common glass ink-wells, or any of the ordinary 
ink sockets. It is easily 
and readily fixed to any 
desk without the use of 
screws, letting in flush 
with the desk top, as 
shown in the cut. It is 
made of iron, and is 
japanned. 

The opening in the 
top is sufficient for any 
size pen. It also admits 
the key for locking the 
cover securely fast to 
the desk. The size and 
peculiar shape of the 
opening is not liable to be fitted by any knife or other instrument which pupils are 
likely to have about them. 

The pen opening is tightly closed by a little pivoted cover which keeps out the dust, 
and prevents evaporation of the ink. In short, this device has more real advantages 
than any of the complicated and expensive “ patent locking ink-wells it can be used 
with the ^lass ink-wells already on hand; and is simple, having no screws and no 
hinges ; it is durable and it is cheap. Price of Amer. Locking Cover, per doz., $1.00. 

The Non corroding Metallic Ink-Well, with attached covers, shown, full size, 
in the cut, was invented in 1868 . By a new process the interior is made insoluble by 
ink, securing all the advantages of glass, with 
increased capacity, strength and dura¬ 
bility. The loss and annoyance of breakage 
in handling and by frost is entirely disposed of. 

1 he metal may be kept bright, giving an 
ornamental appearance to the desk. The 
cover is thoroughly secured with a brass 
hinge. It is made of standard size, to fit the 
usual bore of school desks. 

Price, - - - per doz., $1.75. 

Non-corroding Metallic Ink Sockets, 
being the same as shown in the cut without 
the cover, are supplied for use with the ordi¬ 
nary iron covers, or with the new brass 
covers. They are durable and economical. 

The size is adapted to the usual bore of school 
desks. 

Price, - - per doz., $1.00. 

The Britaimia Ink-Well, glass lined, long known, we make in precisely the same 
size as the above. Its capacity is greater than that of any other made and hence it 
is superior. It fits the usual bore of the school desks.

Ink-Wells, Covers, Ink-Vents, etc, 


Price, per dozen, - - .75 



Glciss Ink-wells are always in great demand. The points to be regarded in 
selecting them are few. First, it is necessary to secure the largest possible 
capacity, and yet have them fit 
the usual bore of school desks. 

Second, good glass is necessary, 
ill order to avoid waste from 
breakages, and consequent 
damage to books. Such an 
ink-well is illustrated, full 
»iizc, in the cut. It is shown 
beneath an old-fashioned 
hinged cast-iron cover. Instead 
of the hinged cover, we should 
now recommend Bell’s New 
Patent Ink-well Cover as better 
in every respect and cheaper. 


Scarlett’s Ink Vent, for filling Inkstands and Ink-wells.—With this vent, a 
steady stream may be poured and cut off promptly. All overflowing of ink- 
stands and wells, and dripping of ink upon clothing and furni¬ 
ture, is thus avoided. The ink escapes at a. Should a drop 
cling to the orifice, instead cf dropping on the furniture or 
floor, it is conducted back to the bottle, through the inclined 
gutter c. At b there is a small passage to the interior of the 
bottle. This is too small to permit perceptible evaporation, 
and yet admits sufficient air to cause the ink to flow from a. 

The convenience of this invention will be appreciated by all 
who have had experience in filling ink-stands in the old- 
fashioned way. The cork is made tapering, to fit the mouth of 
any ink-bottle. Only one is required for each school-room.

Aids to School Discipline; 

A Substitute for School Records, Reports and Prizes. 

New and Appropriate Designs, Printed in Colors. 

The Aids may be used in various ways. This is convenient; In the morning 
give each pupil a Card (5 merits), representing a perfect day, to he forfeited for 
misdemeanor, or failure in recitation. Single Merits and Half-Merits are for 
pupils who fail to retain iheir Cards and yet worthy of some credit. Five Cards 
held by any pupil are exchanged for a Check (25 merits), representing a perfect 
hcnool Tl ec^. Four Clieoks are exchanged for a Certificate of Merit, represent- 
ing 100 merits or a perfect Month. Tliese Certificates bear the pupil’s name, and 
are signed by the teacher. The number held shows the pupil’s standing. 

If prizes or medals are awarded at close of session, there can be no mistake in 
determining to whom they belong ,- tlie decision being made by each pupil exhibit¬ 
ing his Cards and Certificates, no idea of favoritism can arise. 

It is needless to discuss the value of proper incentives, for either children or 
adults. The use of millions of these Aids, with the unbounded approval of 
Teachers, Parents, and Pupils, assures us that they are doing great good. 

The Aids naturally and inevitably awaken a lively paternal interest, for the 
pupil takes home with him the witness of his daily conduct and progress. 

They are neat in design, printed in best colors. The Certificates are prizes 
which pupils will cherish. Single Merits and Half-Merits are printed on card¬ 
board ; Cards and Checks on heavy paper, and may be used many times—hence 
the system is Cheap. They are put up in sets of 500, there being 80 Certificates, 
120 Checks, 200 Cards, 100 Single Merits and Half-Merits.

School Prise Medals and Badges. 

Our New Prize Medal No. 1 is an entirely new and original design, made from 
new and liiglily jjolished dies, by one of the best workmen in the United States. 

It is struck in a metal 
which rivals silver in its 
beauty and practical util¬ 
ity for this purpose, since 
it is quite as bright, and 
j ust as hard, while it will 
not so easily tarnish as 
silver does. The cuts 
illustrate it both sides, 
and in exact size. 

Price of New Prize Medal No. 1, .20 Prepaid by Mail, .30 

Our New Medal No. 2 is shown herewith, both sides. It is somewhat larger 
than No. 1, and is made of the same metal. 

On one side, 
above the word 
“ Excellence,” is 
opportiniity to 
engrave the date 
of presenting the

The School Index ^ or, “ Roll of Honor.” 



“ Honor and shame from no condition rise : 

Act well your part, there all the honor lies." 

To teacliers who keep a record of the work performed by their 
classes, and are weary of writing out, week after week, the 
names and relative merits of each of their pupils, the School 
Index will be Avelcome, on account of the ease with which, by 
its aid, they can accomplish what has hitherto been an arduous 
task. Its construction is clearly illustrated in the accompanying 
cut. It consists of a frame in which are arranged small pieces 
of wood, on which the names of the pupils are to be Avritten. 
These can be taken out and moved at pleasure. One side of 
the frame is hinged to admit of its being opened, Avhen any 
change in the position of a name-strip is required. On the 
other side, Avhich is fixed, are numbers, as shown in the cut. 

In connection Avith the Aids to School Discipline, the School 
Index furnishes an accurate and reliable means of showing the 
standing of eA’cry pupil. The “Aids” and the “ Index” together, 
form a perfect System of School Records. At the expiration of 
a “ quarter ” or any specified time, each pupil produces his Cards 
and Certificates, and his rank being determined by the number 
of these in his possession, his name can easily be jAut in its 
proper place in the Index. If any error in arrangement is dis¬ 
covered, it can be easily corrected. In this respect, the superiority 
of the School Index OA^er the ordinary Merit Roll is readily seen. 
Where the Aids are not used, the Index can be made to take the 
place of the “ Merit Roll ” or “ School Record,”—the preparation 
of AAdiich has alAA-ays caused a waste of much valuable time and 
effort. 

The Index may be used to shoAv the standing of each pupil as 
to scholarship alone, or scholarship together Avith deiAortment and 
attendance. As it is to be clisplayed in a prominent place, where 
it can be seen and examined not only by the pupils, but by parents 
and others Avho visit the schools, it Avill necessarily have a bene¬ 
ficial influence on the conduct and diligence of the classes. 

If desired, it can be used to sIioav the rank of each pupil as 
to behaA'ior alone, and in this case, will be a poAverful Aid in 
school government—UEiNft Fikst depending on being good, 
every one will naturally striA'e to excel in good conduct. 

The School Index is simple in construction ; easily managed ; 
can never get out of order, there being no “ machinery” Avhat- 
ever about it; can be introduced Avithout making any changes 
in the manner of governing or marking ; is neat in design ; and 
is light, portable and cheap. 

WhereA^er introduced, its use has been attended with the 
happiest results, and has called forth the praise of experienced 


teachers.

THE 

New Composition Paper. 

Some simple and practical method of correcting Compositions 
has long been a desideratum in the school-room. A plan has 
been hit upon, so obviously superior that the wonder is that it was 
not devised long ago. 

The first peculiarity of the new method is the opportunity it 
gives to the instructor to graduate perfectly the amount of assist¬ 
ance he ivill give the pupil. The second point of superiority is 
the practical knowledge it imparts, interesting in itself and often 
very useful, of the proper method of correcting printers' proof- 
sheets. The marks used are those which the concurrent experience 
of ages has shown to be the best. A third recommendation is the 
progressive character of the method, by which it exactly meets the 
wants of students in all stages. Its crowning excellence is its 
great simplicity. 

On the New Composition Paper, No. 1, the main thing is 
the criticism of the mechanical execution^ spelling, punctuation, 
penmanship, capital letters, etc. 

On the New Composition Paper, No. 2, there is added, as 
the principal thing, a rhetorical criticism, taking note of the 
diction, the construction of sentences, the use of rhetorical orna¬ 
ment, etc. 

On the New Composition Paper, No. 3, the criticism is 
extended so as to embrace the logical conduct of the thoiight, with 
reference to unity of theme, selection of arguments and illustra¬ 
tions, proper grouping and arrangement, fullness of treatment, etc. 

The three sets of composition paper thus form part of a 
progressive and beautiful sy.stem, extending from the most ele¬ 
mentary sentence-making to the highest literary productions. 

Prof. Homer B. Sprague, the author of this method of correct¬ 
ing and criticising compositions, has great skill.in all such matters, 
and will be considered a benefactor because of this invention. 

The directions and explanations are printed at the head of 
each sheet of paper, properly ruled for the purpose. Size of the 
page 7 in. by about 8 ^ in. There are four pages.

so condensed that comparative standing may be observed at a glance. A recitation is 
marked by the pupil, with lead pencil. The teacher can mark with itik such changes as 
are needed, make average for week, and carry it forward to Abstract. There are spaces 
for the parent to make remarks, and specify weekly time given to study at home. The 
correct use of Scholar’s Register will save teacher’s time, stimulate pupil to better 
conduct and better lessons. He will be careful that his own hand may not record 
irregularities, misdemeanors, or poor lessons. Price, (Specimen by mail, loc.) per

The Peabody Class Records: on a New Plan. (Patent applied for.) The 
Pe.abody Class Record, (the invention of Mr. Towle, a New York Teacher,) 
gives the most complete, comprehensive, concise and convenient system for keeping 
Class Records ever invented. It is peculiar in many particulars, among which are the 
following: The Names of the Class, once written, need not be re-written during 
the year, even though several pages be required for the marks ; The Names of all 
the class appear on one page before the Teacher; The Order of Recitations 
can be arranged to suit the wishes of each Teacher; The Marks of each Pupil are 
permanent, and readily referred to any time ; Its paramount advantage is the great 
saving of time to the over-taxed Teacher. 


It is not easy to explain briefly the construction of these Records. The plan of 
ruling and cutting to accomplish their desired purposes must be seen to be appre¬ 
ciated. Ample printed Directions and Suggestions accompany them. There are

ON GLOBES 


/ 


The Globe is the truest and most natural, indeed, cartographically speaking, the only accurate 
representation of the Earth. All flat map-projections must necessarily contain errors, which will 
increase in jiroportion to the area of the Earth’s surface which they are intended to represent. 
The Mercator projection, supposing we join the ends of a Map of the World together, produces a 
cylinder, and, in diflerent latitudes, iiresents widely diflerent scales. If we place side by side 
planiglobes based on other projections, they touch each other only at one point (wLilst in fact 
they ought to touch each other at all points of the jicriphery), and give the countries according to 
scales very diflerent, or in a measure distorted and disarranged. 

The Globe is, consequently, a most important, indeed an indispensable auxiliary in geographical 
instruction; and, where means will permit, the Relief Globe, on account of its manifest preeminence, 
should be used. 

On the Globe alone can the teacher present to the pupil the w'hole Earth in its natural form. 

On the Globe can easily' be explained those points and mathematical lines which require eluci¬ 
dation as being the very' groundwork of Geography: the j)oles, the meridians, the parallels, the 
equator, the tropics, the polar circles, and the ecliiDtic. 

On the Globe the teacher can readily ex^ilain the lighting of the Earth at different times of the 
day; the diurnal revolution of the Earth, the synchronism of sunrise, midday and sunset in any 
two given places upon the same meridian, the difference of the time of day between places not 
upon the same meridian. All this the pupil can see with his own eyes, and, therefore, thoroughly 
understand. 

On a Globe provided with a Meridian, the lighting and heating of the Earth at various seasons 
may be elucidated; to which may easily be associated explanations of the climatic differences of the 
zones, the trade-winds, the winds arising from climatic differences, as the monsoon, etc. 

On the Globe we get the real form of the countries and seas. We have no flat map of the 
Pacific or Atlantic Ocean which is correct in every direction and at all points; their representation 
on a ’ flat smrface makes errors inevitable. Consequently, on a Globe the great lines, too, of trans¬ 
marine trade, of circumnavigation, of the telegrai^hs encircling the whole Earth, are made out with 
certainty and accuracy. 

It must be allowed that the larger Globes have some slight drawbacks, inasmuch as they can¬ 
not be put into the pupil’s hands, and the minuteness of the drawing and names makes their use at 
a distance impossible. This little difficulty' has been surmounted. For the demonstration of prob¬ 
lems, etc., the teacher uses the largest Globe at command. Pupils have Globes of small size in 
their hands. These little Globes are very cheap, and contain, in the main, everything necessary 
for elucidating the elementary principles of general mathematical Geography. They also give the 
chief countries and seas, and the lines of circumnavigation. 

Whilst the foregoing is said with special reference to Terrestrial Globes, it is needless to men¬ 
tion that analogous arguments hold good in regard to Celestial Globes. 

The more advanced pupil will also find the Tellurian a valuable aid in the study of mathemat¬ 
ical Geography'. The synchronism and regularity of the Earth’s revolution on its axis, as well as 
of its revolution round the Sun, and of the Moon’s revolution round the Earth, may be traced and 
understood in every phase by this apparatus. Above aU, this is the most direct and practical means 
of making evident to the pupil eclipses of the Sun and Moon, the inclination of the Earth’s axis to 
its orbit, etc., etc.

It is specially designed for the use of Colleges and High Schools. All matters represented, and 
all names, notwithstanding their multiphcity, are kept clear and distinct, and confusion is avoided. 
By it the fundamental and elementary principles of geography, so difidcult to the learner, are readily 
explained. The most important rivers, capital cities and mountain ranges, are given as distinctly 
as possible. This Globe, therefore, commends itself to parents and teachers as an essential aid in 
instruction. Its practical utility cannot fail to be recognized in Schools; it has already been received 
with great favor by eminent instructors in many of our Normal and High Schools, who have strongly 
testified to its value; and it may be confidently offered as better adapted for the instruction of youth 
than any Terre.strial Globe hitherto constructed. ^

scHEDLERs Celestial Globes. 

The most difficult task in the preparation of a Celestial Globe is to present clearly the con- 
figuraiions of the stars, and the constellations, as two distinct subject-matters. 

To eflect this, Schedlek’s Celestial Globes are printed in a manner never hitherto adopted. 
The stars are printed in black upon a slcy-blue ground, so that their configuration strikes the eye 
forcibly and at once. The figures of the constellations, and the various designations of the stars 
by letters, numbers, etc., are printed in purple. 

This method of printing completely obviates the indistinctness and confusion otherwise certain 
to arise from the multiplicity of objects delineated.' 

The several subjects are at once grasped by the eye, and present, at the same time, a very beau¬ 
tiful appearance. 

These Globes are, moreover, eminently conspicuous for their accuracy, clearness and elegance; 
indeed, taking into account their manifold and acknowledged superiority, it may fairly be stated 
that never have any of equal excellence been offered to the ijublic. 

AU the Celestial Globes hitherto published are so overcrowded, and the various subjects are 
so confused, that the very first es.sential of a Celestial Globe, viz., to present, as totally distinct, 
the configurations of the stars and the constellations, is utterly wanting. 

Mr. Schedlee’s aim was to remove these drawbacks, and he has completely succeeded in pro¬ 
ducing Celestial Globes which will prove valuable auxiliaries as well to the accomplished astro¬ 
nomer as to the tyro. 

To delineate in a specially characteristic manner, and to throw into relief by color, the various 
celestial signs, as usually done, is a complete mistake. These uncouth figures detract from the 
impression which should be created by the outlines of the stars themselves, and are lather prejudi¬ 
cial than favorable to instruction. They form a misleading medley of figures, which is simply 
aimoyingand confusing: since no possible assistance is given to one desirous of studying the heavens, 
by the figure of a “Hercules’ club” or a “crown of Cepheus”. Such old figures of constellations are 
only a remainder of the uncultivated spirit of antiquity which strove thereby to aid the memory 
in astronomical studies. 

(Sir John F. W. Heeschel says in his OiUHnes of Astronomy: “Those uncouth figures and outlines of 
men and monsters, which are usually scribbled over Celestial Globes and Maps, and serve, in a rude and 
barbarous way, to enable us to talk of groups of stars, or districts in the heavens, by names, absurd or 
puerile in their origin, are entirely arbitrary, and corresijond to no natural sub-divisions or groupings of 
the stars. Astronomers treat them lightly, or altogether disregard them. 

“This disregard is neither supercilious nor causeless. The constellations seem to have been almost 
purposely named and delineated to cause as much confusion and inconvenience as possible. Innumer¬ 
able snakes twine through long and contorted areas of the heavens, where no memory can follow them; 
bears, lions, and fishes, large and small, northern and southern, confuse all nomenclature, etc., etc.”) 

The most patient care has been bestowed upon these Globes: they contain, too, the latest results 
of Astronomical Science as given by the best authoritie.s. 

In their preparation, IVIr. Schedlek has enjoyed the rare advantage of the advice and sugges¬ 
tions of our eminent astronomer. Prof. Peters, of the Clinton Observator}'. 

Schedleb’s Celestial Globes give all the stars visible to the naked eye up to the sixth magni¬ 
tude. The signs indicating magnitudes are given in tnie and natural proportions, and in such a 
manner as to preclude all mistakes. 

The Greek and Koman letters refer to Bayer’s classification of stars: the numbers are ammged 
according to the Catalogues of Flamsteed, Piazzi, Bradley, Hevelius and La Caille. The double 
stars are from Sir Fred. W. Kerschel and Struve: the magnitudes given are according to Argelander, 
reduced to the year 1870. 

The fittings of the three sizes of Celestial Globes now published, are exactly similar to those 
of the corresponding sizes and styles of Terrestrial Globes: thus, those desirous of procuring them 
in pairs, can have them precisely matching each other.

TERRESTRIAL GLOBES, op 6 Inches Diameter. 

The two styles of Hemisphere Globe mentioned below are a most important addition to cheap 
school apparatus. In both, the arrangement at once shows the learner why the lines on a map must 
be curved; how impossible it is to depict perfectly any part of the Globe on a flat Map, or to represent 
on such a map, in their correct form, and in complete unity, countries and seas in their natural 
proportions, po.sition, distances, etc. For it is clear that a sphere or part of a sphere cannot be 
accunxtely represented upon a flat surface. The juxtaposition of the Hemisphere Globe with the 
Planisphere Map proves this to evidence, inasmuch as the comparison of the two shows very dis¬ 
tinctly how distorted and disarranged all the parts of the Earth appear upon the Planisphere Maf). 

VII E. The Hand Ilemisphere Globe. With hinge. 3.00 [0.40] 

This style consists of two half-globes, 
or hemispheres, connected by a hinge. 

When closed they form a handy little 
globe; -when opened, the planiglobes 
are foimd inside. 

Beyond the above mentioned ad¬ 
vantages, the Hand Ilemisphere Globe 
is extremely useful in the school-room. 

It can be passed from hand to hand, 
whilst the teacher is explaining the 
lesson; it is light, and yet so strongly 
made that no amount of ordinary wear 
and tear will affect it, and besides being 
really hard to break, it is extremely 
cheap.

VII F. Plan isjthere Maj>s and Hemisphere CrZobes combined. Mounted on pasteboard. 

3.75 [0.40] 

In this style the 
two hemispheres are 
mounted side by side 
on pasteboard, the 
two planiglobas be¬ 
ing placed above 
them. The Wall He¬ 
misphere Globe can 
thus be hung on the 
wall of a study or 
school - room, and, 
whilst forming a very 
attractive ornament, 
is a very compendi¬ 
ous, albeit a dimin¬ 
utive repertory of 
geographical and 
other information, as 
the available space 
on the mounting is 
occupied with statis¬ 
tics of prime import¬ 
ance to the beginner 
in geography. 

These statistics 
comprise the area and 
population of the va¬ 
rious States and Ter¬ 
ritories of the Union 
in 1870; the popula¬ 
tion of thirty of the 
chief cities in the 
United States; the 
area and population

of the various continents; the area and population of the main divisions of the American Continent, 
and other leading geographical data. 

Besides the foregoing, theira/l Hemisphere Globe has another very strong recommendation, viz. 
its very low price, which makes it peculiarly adajited for general use, as there is not a single school 
in ike country which cannot afford to provide itself with at least one of these Globes. 


BRACKET-CxLOBES. 



This is an entirely novel and most advantageous 
method of moimting the Globe. 

For Common Schools, in which the teacher is 
not, as a rule, engaged in problems requiring the 
Globe to have stand, meridian, horizon, etc., this 
is the best kind. 

• 

The teacher needs an inexpensive Globe which 
can be placed beyond the reach of the scholars 
and the danger of accidental damage, can be 
readily tixken down and handed round the class, 
and as quickly put back in its proper place. 
All these requirements will be found fully met 
in the Bracket-Globe, of which Jive dilferent sizes 
are offered. 

The Bracket-Globe will be found, too, a very 
useful and elegant addition to all such jjieces of 
furniture as can be fitted with the Brackets, an 
arrangement allowing unlimited scope for variety 
both in richness of design and execution. 


These Globes can be fixed to any suitable piece 
of furniture, as well as to mirror-frames, windows, 
blind-doors, etc. etc., in Offices, Clubs, Libraries, 
Drawing - Rooms, Alcoves, Bay-Win¬ 
dows, and, indeed, in almost any por¬ 
tion of an apartment where there is 
spare room for an ornamental and 
uncumbersome piece of furniture. 

The Brackets offered by me, whilst 
elegant and pleasing in design, are 
both substantial and cheap.

SLATED GLOBES. 

These Globes have a black slate surface, which readilj' takes 
a slate-pencil mark. They are admirably adapted for illustrating 
those principles and facts in Geography and Astronomy which 
are most difficult of elucidation to the pupil. 

Each slated Globe is furnished w'ith a thin brass Guide, which 
serves, at the same time, as a meridian. This band is divided into 
sections of 10 degrees each. The pupil places, with his left hand, 
his pencil in one of the holes given on the line of the degree, 
and, with the right hand, turns the Globe round to the right. 

Thereby a line is drawn upon the Globe which forms a parallel of 
latitude. The pupil then proceeds thus to draw all the parallels 
of latitude. 

In the middle of the Guide there is a lateral projection, from 
the extreme left of which to the extreme right of the Guide is a 
distance of 10 degrees. The pupil takes hold, -with his left hand, 
of the button in the middle of the Guide, and draw's with his 
pencil, dowm the meridian, a straight line from the North to the 
South pole. Thereby a degree of longitude is formed. 

The pupil then marks a point at the extreme left of the projection on the middle of the mer¬ 
idian, turns the Globe to the right until this point appears on the extreme right of the meridian, 
again draws a line from the North to the South pole, and thus continues until he has drawn every 
tenth degree of longitude. 

The pupil thus traces a perfect net of degrees, and can then proceed to draw countries, etc. etc., 
on the Globe, according to a given Map, or if further advanced, from memory. 

With the use of these Globes a solid grounding in Geography is acquired. The teacher can 
at once begin object-lessons, by showing things, and -not merely representations of them. Pupils are 
taught not simply the names of geographical lines, but w'hat these lines are, their purpose, and, 
what is more important, how to draw according to them. 

Multitudes of fects and phenomena can be explained and illustrated so simply and clearly that 
any child can understand them. The most obscure theorems and problems of Spherical Geometry, 
Trigonometry and Navigation, become, when studied in connection with the Sphere, perfectly 
intelligible.

BLACK WALNUT GLOB?] STANDS. 

The accompanying illustrations sufficiently explain themselves. 

These stands, as offered by me, are of black walnut, nicely finished and varnished, simple in 
design, but solid, and cheap. They afford a field for the display of much taste in design and can 
be made by cabinet-makers to match any style and quality of furniture. They occupy but little 
room, are portable, and, as the Globe is not fastened to them, can, as occasion may require, be used 
for a variety of purposes. Thus they are highly acceptable for Offices, Clubs, Libraries, Parlors, 
Drawing-Kooms, Alcoves, Bay-Windows, and, indeed, in almost any portion of an apartment where 
there is room to spare for an ornamental and uncurabersome piece of furniture.

The exceeding usefulness of the Tellurian for illustrating the relative positions of the Sun, 
Earth, and Moon, and the phenomena resulting therefrom, is admitted on all hands. Expense has 
hitherto been the chief bar to the general use of this vahiable auxiliary. Mr. J. Tsonn has not 
only produced such an instrument at a very low price, but, by the verdict of most competent 
authorities, has invented the simplest, most perfect, and most practical one yet offered to educators.

THE STELLAR TELLURIAN, 

■WITH 

♦Jackson’s Mathematical Geography^ Mamial for the Instrument, 
Celestial Hemispheres, and Key. 

The -whole forming a complete illustrated course of Astronomy, for Schools, Colleges, Public and 

Private Libraries. 



The instrument is, at present, made of two sizes: 


No. 1. 18 inches Diameter. 75.00 [2.00] 

No. 2. 36 inches Diameter.115.00 [3.00] 


(each including a copy of Jackson’s Mathematical Geography, with a complete Manual of Dlrectkmx, 
for the use of the apparatus). 

This elegant and instructive instrument probably stands unrivaled among Astronomical Illus¬ 
trative Apparatus. No other instrument professes to accomplish more than a small part of what 
this actually does. 

It is so substantially made that nothing short of absolute -violence can put it out of order. 

The object of this instrument is to simplify the theory of Celestial Mechanics by making their 
manifold results e-vident to the eye of the learner. 

The exact proportion between the heavenly bodies is preserved where possible. This instru¬ 
ment is capable of illustrating no less than seventy-six problems or theorems of Mathematical 
Geography and Astronomy. * 

Accompanying the instrument, and included in its price, is a copy of Jackson’s Mathemaiical 
Geography. This work was not, at first, adapted to any particular apparatus; but about a year ago, 
its author’s attention was first called to the Stellar Tellurian, when he became so fully convinced of 
its great superiority, that, at his suggestion, several valuable improvements were added. He has 
since, at the request of the managers, added to his book a Manual for this instrument.

NEW MAP OF THE UNITED STATES. 

6 Plates, together measuring 28 X 50 inches. In sheets. 3.50 

Mounted on muslin, varnished, with rollers. 5.00 [0.75] 

It may be fairly said that until the publication of this Map (March 1874), there was really 
not one extant which fully embodied the latest results of geographical study and exploration in 
regard to the United States. 

By its production, Peteemann has made this country a debtor to the scientific enterprise of 
Germany. 

Appreciating the great value of his services in such an imdertaking, the United States 
Authorities placed at his disposal all the official material at their command. The result has been 
an expression of opinion from Washington that this Map excels all previous ones, and surpasses 
the boldest anticipation of those best qualified to judge of the great geographer and his work. 

Want of space forbids the enumeration of the many individual points in which this Map has 
absolutely no competitor; it is sufficient to say that the closer the examination, the more promi¬ 
nently will the excellencies of this most conscientious work assert themselves. 


.r. Scliedler’s 

TOPOGBAPHIOAL MAP op the ISLAND op CUBA. 

Compiled from the most reliable Spanish authorities. 

Including a Plan of the City of Havana, and a Map of Central America and the West- 
Indies, showing the relative position of the Island of Cuba. Size of Map 23 X 34 inches. 
Carefully dravm, engraved, and printed in colors. 

Folded, in paper cover. 3.00 

Mounted on muslin, varnished, with rollers. 4.50 

iVb similar Map exists, and aside from the interest vdtb which the Island of Cuba is regarded 
on account of recent events, aside also from the importance of the “Pearl of the Antilles” in a 
commercial view, Mr. Schedlee’s work is a fit ornament for any Library, Eeading-Eoom, or 
Office.

II. JiertjhuHs' CHART op the WORLD. 

Contiiining the lines of Ocean Mail Steam Communication and Overland Koutes, the International 
Overland and Submarine Telegrai)hs, and the principal courses of Sailing Vessels; presenting 
some Continental surface characteristics, the Ocean currents and important Deep-Sea Soundings. 
With 25 additional Charts and Plans showing the general currents of air, and the lines of equal 
magnetic variation, the Tehuantepec, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Darien, and Suez Eoutes, 
several Sea-ports, the Telegraphic and Steam lines round the World. (In English.) 8 Sheets, tor 
gether measuring 61 X 38 inches. In sheets. 5.00 

Mounted on muslin, varnished, with rollers. 8.75 [0.75] 

The estimation in which this Chart is held, is best shown by the fact that the United States 
Government purchases many copies of the same for the use of Departments, etc. 

Important improvements and the latest details of information have considerably enhanced the 
value of the Chari of ihe World. It is equally well adapted to the Counting-house, the School-room, 
and the Library. Intrinsic worth, beauty of execution, and cheapness commend it to the public.

the eye for perspective drawing most successfully. 
Sticks belonging to the Eighth Gift are also used for 
this purpose.

Cutomer.'; will plea.se bear in mind that the method of describing Kindergarten Gift.s, &c., in this Catalogue is 
that adopted in America, which differs considerably from the one used ,in Germany, and England. It is very important 
to remember this when ordering the Gifts, &c. Only the first six Gifts are used in a strictly serial order, the Planes, Sticla 
Weaving- and Embroldering-materials being introduced at the same time as the Third Gift, so that the work of no two 
or three consecutive days need be alike. The designation by numbers (No.) of various articles is entirely arbitrary, and is 
added solely for the purpose of enabling ctustomers to order the exact kinds they desire to receive. 

Requests to take back or e.xchange goods sent in conformity with orders, must be declined. 


The List on the foregoing pages comprises only part of my Stock of Kindergarten Gifts. Occupation 
liLfterlal, etc. (for an exhibition of which, at the Fair of the American Institute in New York, November 
1873, a Diploma was awarded). A very large assortment of kindred articles is on hand, and additions are 
being incessantly made, both by importation from Europe and by domestic manufacture, so as to render mine 
the most complete and extensive Repository of the kind in America. 

To meet the growing demand, I propose to offer, at a concession from regular prices. Selections_more 

or less complete — of Kindergarten Gifts and Occupation Material, as required for a smaller number of 
children. As such I now offer:

Price $12.00.
